It isn’t yet confirmed as to which imperial power built the fort here. Many movies have been filmed at this locale. The place also attracts a good number of archeology students and scientists.The beach is natural and in a way little rough, but that makes it beautiful. The shrub-covered hill slope near the fort is the perfect location for some beachside adventures. Sunbathing and sea swimming will acquire top spots.
