Shanghumukham beach is in Thiruvananthapuram district. The word meaning of ‘Shanghumukham’ is ‘Shanku’ which means ‘Conch’ and ‘Mugham’ meaning ‘face’. It is a calm and serene beach which is a favorite tourist destination of many. As this place comes at the tip of our country, it is spectacular to view the sunset from here. Fishing is done from this beach.

There is also a children’s park nearby. Near to the beach road lies a huge sculpture of a mermaid called as ‘Jalakanyaka’ created by the sculptor Kanayi Kunjiraman which is very attractive.
