The famous beach at Muttom is located about 16 kms from Nagercoil and 32
kms from Kanyakumari. Muttom is famous for its beautiful landscaping and
high rocks dipping into the sea at the beach-side. The sun set view
point at Muttom is one of the most Panoramic view points in the
district. Another attraction of Muttom is the century old light-house
built by the British.
The district administration constructed small open huts at the rock tops
for the tourists to sit and watch the massive sea waves leisurely with
protection from sun and rain. The fencing work and the small huts have
already been completed to the delight of the tourists who mob the beach
in hundreds during week ends. Sitting benches have also been constructed
in a circle for the elders to chit-chat, relax and enjoy the sun set.
Seeing the response of the tourists, the district administration has
sanctioned for the construction of a toilet complex, a small shopping
complex and a children's park and there are plans to undertake sculpture
- works across the rocks to add to the ambience of the area.
Be careful! The rocks on which tourists go to see the sea view are
slippery and a number of fatal accidents have occurred over the past few
years. So avoid those rocks and don't cross the fences.
