Visit the Beautiful & Exotic Kovalam in Kerala
The Kovalam beach resort is a popular town in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala. Once a quiet fishing village, Kovalam beach has developed into a popular coastal resort. Kovalam boasts numerous stretches of fine golden sandy beach, backed by coconut palms and verdant scenery. Most visitors head for the popular Lighthouse Beach in the south of the resort, where there is ample opportunity to relax on the sand or sip a cool drink under the shade of a palm tree.
The beaches in Kovalam are washed by the gentle waters of the Arabian Sea and conditions are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Local fisherman offer boat trips along the coastline to allow visitors the opportunity to see the beauty of Kovalam, Kerala and the wider area, plus the incredible sunsets that fall over the deep blue waters on the horizon. There are a number of Hindu temples in the Kovalam area for those seeking a taste of local culture and heritage.
