The hygenic beaches
of Kerala with their healthy atmosphere attract the traveller, carrying
him to the dizzy heights of rapture and bliss. The worldwide traveller
in quest of solace and solitude finds relief and relaxation in the
palm-fringed beaches where eternity is in tune with earthliness.
 Kovalam
: The Kovalam beach is unique in nature. It provides the finest
facilities for highly refreshing sea baths. You can bask in the glee of
the morning sun shine or the twilights on the beautiful sea shores of
kovalam. In this sheltered natural bay, a catamaran cruising, swimming,
sunbathing and herbal rejuvenation centres offer a wonderful experience
which you can remember forever.
Varkala :The Arabian
Sea borders on the tranquil sands of this sea shore. This beautiful
expanse of beach is flanked by thousands of palm trees. Red laterite
cliffs that border the beach jutt dramatically into the sea. And from
these cliffs gush mineral springs reputed for their medicinal
properties. The holy Shivagiri Ashram located here attracts many
pilgrims.
 Bekal
: Bekal is a spot that haunts tourists from all parts of the world.
The spectacular beach and remnants of an ancient fort by the shore make
Bekal a unique one. The solitude seekers and nature lovers will love to
be here, where the majestic ruins evoke the drama of epic wars and
raging romances.
Other Beaches : The cherai beach near
Cochin is enriched by the abundance of the palm trees. Its peace and
placidness are unparalleled. Kappad beach near Calicut takes the visitor
back to a period spanning over six centuries. Vasco-Da-Gama, the
Portuguese traveller landed in Kappad in 1948 AD. |
Backwaters
are unique to Kerala and the area, over the last couple of years has
seen unprecedented tourist interest. The backwaters are essentially
island lakes connected by a network of canals. The backwaters stretch to
almost 1900 kms ( Kerala's coast line is only 900 km). 
The
mirror-still lagoons, picture-book lake sides, palm fringed canals and
tiny shimmering rivulets make the most enthralling backwaters of Kerala.
A country raft ride, a speed boat drag or a luxury cruise through this
measuring waterscape with an intricate network of canals and rivers
connecting the interior villages, offer an enchanting experience.
