World famous
Indian beach since 1930 where foreign and domestic tourists
throng. This post-card tropical beach,
boarded
by blue waters and lush coconut gardens, once was a haunt of
hippies from European countries. Kovalam, more popular among
backpacking travelers, is a western cultural dot on a
traditional and orthodox Kerala physique.
"Kovalam" means a grove of coconut trees and true to its name
the village offers an endless sight of coconut trees. The
crescent-shaped beach has three parts. The southern most beach,
and the most popular, is light house beach. It offers an amazing
sight of Vizhinjam mosque. The northern Samudra is a laidback
one and time, seems, stands still here. The middle, hawah, in
the early day, is a beehive of activities with fishermen setting
out for sea. With a high rock promontory and a calm bay of blue
waters, this beach paradise creates a unique aquarelle on
moonlit nights.
Azure water and favorable climate make Kovalam a favorite
year-round spot for swimming. Sea, here, is pacific and shallow
where you can take a dip in the saline waters. Landlubbers will
get lifeguards' service. The clean white sandy beach will arouse
a temptation irresistible: to lie in idle on the sands and tan
the bodyAnd Veli lagoon.
