Kerala Beach Tourism
Kerala Beaches Most of India's finest beaches are in Kerala.
Virtually its entire 900km length coastline is lined with sandy
beaches, rocky promontories and coconut palms . Each year, a
great number of visitors arrive here is search of tranquil,
palm-fringed beaches.
Kerala enjoys an extraordinary kinship with the sea. Mythically
born from it, Kerala's bond with the sea is that of a child
and mother. By the virtue of having most of India's finest
beaches, Kerala offers you surf, spice and sand like no other
place. Though extremely popular worldwide, the beaches remain
strangely unspoilt and bewitching. The cool breeze that blows
on the beaches will work like a balm to your soul. You will
find the communing with air, water and sand at the beaches
of Kerala a supreme rejuvenation. Here are some beautiful
beaches in the God's Own Country with a short description....
Kovalam is one of India's internationally
renowned beaches. Popular since 1930, Kovalam consists of
three successive crescent shaped beaches. Riding the high
seas on three or four pieces of tree trunk tied together simply
by coir yarn, sailing triumphantly over the tempestuous waves,
hair whipped back from the face, the body tense with the exhilaration
of the moment - that's Catamaran cruising is just one of the
incredibly pleasurable experiences that Kovalam offers you.
Varkala red laterite cliffs that border
the beach just dramatically into the sea;Varkala is a seaside
resort and spa, as well as an important Hindu centre of pilgrimage.
The 2000 year-old Sree Janardhana Swamy Temple and the Nature
care centre are the two main attractions in Varkala.
Alleppey the beach here is spectacular .At
one end are the dense palm groves that are so characteristic
of Kerala's landscape.You can cut across the sea waves lashing
the shore in passionate fury, or indulge in the luxury of
sitting on a sand dune and paddling your feet in the water
Kappad History comes alive where a small
monument commemorates the landing of Vasco da Gama in 1498.
With the legends woven around its historic origins and traditions
that cast their own spell, the scenic beauty of Kappad is
no less enchanting. Set admist picturesque fishing villages
and rock information, the beach is trulylovely.
Bekal Flanked on two sides by long ravishingly

on a promontory. The fort's commanding position ,with views
across the bays to the north and the south are truly breath
