Thiruparappu waterfall is marvelous place, close to Nagercoil. The place has got water flow for seven months a year and less crowded atleast the time we visit. Water is so clean and bath for an hour would just release all the stress we got. The place has also got boating, kids play area for entertainment. Thiruparappu Mahadevar temple is scenic Shiva temple to worship. The place has got changing rooms and restrooms but are not maintained good. Car parking is also available. I also seen some people bringing dishes and utensils to cook and eat in the nearby place. This is definitely a memorable experience. From Nagercoil you need to travel around 40kms (25miles) to reach the place and on the way there are many scenic places. Kulasekharam is the nearest town where you can see good restaurants.  

Vattakottai fort was a beautiful site seeing place on the sea side. Inside fort looks neat and there were few couples making there photoshoot. The place was quiet peaceful and enjoyable unless a sunny day. Outside the fort you can visit the beach but there was no proper way, you need to follow the single track. It is an estuary, so after playing in beach salt water we took bath in the river water streaming into the sea. The place has also got parking space. From Nagercoil you have to travel around 20kms (12.5 miles) and around 7kms (4.5 miles) from Kanyakumari beach

Muttom beach was a splendid experience. We saw Sunset here and was mesmerizing. There are some cave like rocks were you will get some shades. The intensity of tides is also normal, at least on the day we have visited. Beach was also maintained without waste dumping.  The place got a Light house built by the British and was open for visitors. Beach is 16kms (~10 miles) from Nagercoil town. Place is little remote, you will not be able to find good restaurants or chitchat nearby. If you are planning for Mandaikadu temple also include muttom beach in your watchlist. The place doesn't seem like secure to stay after light.
