Varkala Cliff, the town's most iconic landmark, rises above the Arabian Sea in a rare stretch of red laterite rock along Kerala's coastline. Cafes, shops, and yoga retreats line the cliff top, drawing a mix of backpackers and pilgrims. Sunset views from here rank among the most photographed in southern Kerala, and a walk along the cliff edge captures the town's laid back, bohemian character.
