In Tamil arisi means rice and malai means mountain. Thus this is the ‘Mountain of Rice’ in Tamil. The reason for name is in the sand. This beach is made of extremely large particles of sand, the size of a rice seed.Still the physical formation of rocky beach is wonderful. Best at sun set. Sea bathing may be dangerous since no safe guard is located nearby.

This place was known as Arisimalr bacause the sand looks like rice, so word arisi is a tamil word for rice. Wonderful beach.
