Apart from the pleasant white sandy beach, for nostalgics of the 1960s there's a pilgrimage to be made to the inspirational Mecca, Auroville.
The beaches call to the eye, while the local Mecca is a beacon for many.
A stroll along the Royal Mile will take around 30-minutes, but stop and explore the various attractions on its path and you might find that this one-mile journey will last a whole day.
