Before 1964, this haunted town was a busy and happy place with a train station, schools, churches, and post offices. Moreover, it was a key spot for trading with Sri Lanka. However, a massive storm changed everything and, in just one night, forced everyone to leave and turn it into an abandoned town. Here is why people call Dhanushkodi Beach a ghost town:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Terrible Storm of 1964<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: On December 22-23, 1964, a very powerful cyclone hit the town.

A few fishermen\u2019s families live here, but the main part of the town remains silent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Strict Rules for Visitors:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To ensure the safety of the visitors, the government does not allow anyone to stay at the beach after the sunset. You must follow the official <\/span><b>Dhanushkodi beach timings <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and plan a visit only between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want a comfortable trip, you must find a <\/span><b>Dhanushkodi beach resort<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or hotel in the nearby town.
