It is lovely beach on Vypin island. You can drive here or take the ferry across from mainland. The backwaters are serene and beautiful and sunset is quite spectacular at the beach. Cherai beach could be defined as Decant at max. The beach is crowded, clean and water is rough. I enjoyed here very well. I wonder if there is a crowd on other days. But this beach is filled with people enjoying with themselves. There are watersports available at reasonable rate. It is nice place to relax and enjoy yourself. Even it is crowded I found a place were I could also.
