Poompuhar Lighthouse on Tamil Nadu’s coast offers windswept sea horizons, dramatic lighthouse framing, and textured shorelines. Best light comes around sunrise (cool, low haze) and late afternoon (golden backlight on the waves). Access is via Poompuhar/Keelaiyur; expect heat and sea spray—carry water and a lens cloth. Limited facilities; entry is generally free around the waterfront, with respectful coastal behavior near local paths.
