Offering the best of both worlds is the Fort Vattakottai, which has a magnificent view of the sea on one side and the mighty hills of the Western Ghats on the other. It was built by the Travancore rulers to be later modified under the supervision of Captain Eustachius De Lannoy. He was East India Company’s naval officer and then the leader of the Travancore Army. This was the last fort built during the reign of Travancore kingdom in Kanyakumari.
- Black sand beaches near the fort

- Carvings with fish motifs on the walls of the fort, an indicator of the Pandya reign
- Pond in the central area, an ideal spot for the perfect sea-view
