Every morning experienced sea dogs are braking the waves to feed the town of Varkala
But sometimes local power is not enough and western muscles are required, which doesn't come cheap - one Golden fish per hour
Somebody has to fight the waves
Pulling the net back to the shore takes approximately one hour and 20 to 30 men
Black sand covers most beaches in Varkala (yellowish at a first glance, it's all black under)
Golden fish, as promised
At the end of the day 4 hour work of 20 men results in 3 piles of fish (like one below), which are sold right away to re-sellers for around 10 USD each pile
Looking for accommodation in dangerous Varkala labyrinths
Oasis Beach Resort sea view room is a perfect place to chill out and see the days go by
The Odayam Beach is all quiet and rarely visited by tourists or local families
Should we change our banner?
The cliff is packed with cafes, shops and local traveling agencies
Do not worry about smashed glass. Cleaners come every day
Local market is a nice place to by fresh fish
And eggs of different sizes
Spiderman also lives there
Sweet treats will follow wherever you go
Varkala main beach is a good place for meditation
Local families, couples and friends show up in the evening to enjoy the sunset
And it doesn't matter which religion you follow. Sunset is there for all
Another group of meditaitors
If you need a leg scrub for softer skin, have some volleyball play with locals
Yet another family portrait (noticed a man covered in sand?)
