When I say Beach, what do you feel? Blue ocean, blue sky and white sand. Or a crowded area filled with so many people and travelers. I bet most of us end up thinking of the second option. That’s obvious, too; Indian beaches remain crowded throughout the year. But what if VBee tells you that I have found some natural calm beaches in India?
