Don’t forget to carry a camera while walking through the natural walk-way as fascinating images of nature would be eagerly waiting to enter in the memory card. If walking long distance makes you tired relax in the olive ridley hut constructed in the midway of the walkway and enjoy the melodious tweets of birds. While uploading the images of the amazing view of emerald nature in social media do not forget to mention that you are standing in one of the longest mangrove natural walkways of India. Along with the birds the mangrove forest is known to be the habitat for animals and reptiles. When you walk through the path you can come across the crocodiles, shrimps, crabs and so on. The educational board positioned at finite intervals of the natural walkway will let you know the importance and presence of mangrove forest in nature. The nature walkway ends at the entry point of another marvellous destination known as Dhaninallah beach. You can watch the turtles nesting in the white sand beds and also you can wet your feet in emerald blue waters. The beach experiences a large gush during December as it is considered to be the peak time for turtles to nest. It is really an awesome moment to see young turtles gushing into the sea for the first time. Don’t feel shy to swim and to have a sunbath as the authorities have constructed well- functioning washroom and other facilities for travellers to relax and rejuvenate. Apart from swimming and sunbathing if you wish you can do windsurfing. But for that, you are supposed to carry all the needed equipment with you as the authorities over there will not provide the same. You can catch the scintillating view of the entire beach from bamboo towers and swings. Sitting under the shadow of casuarina trees and savouring snacks brought from mainland will be an unforgettable experience for you.
