Elephant Beach :
Near to the Radha Nagar beach lies the Elephant Beach. The shoreline here was largely swept away by the 2004 sunami and the beach is a fraction of what it used to be. It’s amazing how the water changes color with the light.. here it’s reflecting the inky gray of the sky..there’s gonna be rain, lots of it..
