Thanni Beach is a beach situated approximately 10 kilometers fromKollam City in Kerala, India.[1] Situated beside theKollam Coastal Road, the beach is also accessible from bothKollam Beach andMayyanad via the Thanni Bridge,[2] making it popular among locals and tourists alike.[3] Tetrapod breakwaters, locally called Pulimuttu, line the shore to reduce wave intensity and create a safe swimming area. Uniquely, a thin landmass separates the beach fromParavur Lake, offering visitors the chance to experience both backwaters and beachfront in close proximity.[4][5]
