Yeah, just ignore the people shitting on the beach and you can't possibly go wrong.

been to Sri Lanka.
one of the best places I've ever been.
been to other parts of India but Sri Lanka is different. Very clean, no hassle. I guess it's because it's 80% bhuddist. great place highly recommended.

Was supposed to be going there (when it was called Trivandrum) but after a LONG train jou got fucked off with it all and got off at Varkala half hour or so up the coast and stayed there for about 10 days.
Don't know how it is now but back in the day Varkala was lovely. Great beach below the cliff tops, unfortunately the locals have zero concept of what a bin is and the clifftop restaurants would just chuck all their shitty unwanted rubbish over the cliff. Old tables and plates, bottles, anything, chuck it over the fucking cliff.
Alcohol was illegal in that state when I went there but if you asked for a special tea they would bring out a tea pot
which they'd poured your beer into then the bottle got chucked over the cliff of course. Think you can drink now legally but it is highly regulated.
Kerala was (is?) the only state / country anywhere in the world to have a fully democratically elected Communist government.
All the Muslim fishermen were exceptionally friendly and fucking POOR and would shit on the beach right in front of you. Mind you that was pre 2001, might be different now but I bet they still shit on the beach.
Everywhere you go there is s cricket game of some sorts going on so I fucking loved that.
If I got reincarnated, which is all bollocks of ourse, I wouldn't object to coming back as a Sadhu. Those fuckers do fuck all, just sit around all day stoned off their nut, living the hobo dream they are.
If I ever went to that neck of the woods again I would want to go to Sri Lanka, they are funny as fuck rude gobby bastards who love to dish out pisstakes but only if you can give it back to them in spades.
