Coloured with blood
According to local legend, Maravanthe Beach is named after a mythical demon king named Marasura, who is said to have terrorized the region in ancient times. It is believed that the beach was the site of a fierce battle between Marasura and the gods and that the sands of the beach are stained red with his blood. While the legend adds a mystical element to the beach, the true beauty of Maravanthe lies in its natural splendour and serene ambience.
