Exotic Beaches of Kerala

Kerala is located at the southern tip of peninsular India. Being a coastal state, lying almost parallel to the Arabian Sea, Kerala is dotted with many beautiful beaches. From rocky beaches to sandy ones, Kerala boasts the diverse type of beaches. In this article, I am going to share with you 5 exotic beaches in Kerala.

Kovalam Beach

Kovalam beach is located about 16 kms from Trivandrum city, the capital of Kerala state. This beach comprises three coves separated by rocky ridges; Lighthouse beach, Samudra beach, and Hawah Beach (Eve’s Beach). Together they form a crescent shape for which Kovalam is famous. Lighthouse beach is the most popular among the three. There is a large number of hotels and resorts facing these beaches.

Muzhappilan gad Beach

How about driving along the beach? If you love it, then head over to Muzhappilangad. It is the only drive beach in India and the largest in Asia. It is in the northern part of Kerala, located about 15 kms from Kannur. Every year in April, the beach festival is celebrated with much grandeur. The young love this place and is a popular hangout destination.

Bekal Beach

This is the beach adjoining the famous Bekal Fort. Bekal Fort is often pictured in movies and music albums. Being serene at the same time majestic set it apart from other forts in Kerala. This seaside fort was built upon the cliff protrusion by Sivappa Nayaka of Bednore in 1650 AD. Bekal beach is in Kasargod, the northernmost district of Kerala. It is approximately 18 km from the Kasargod city center

Beaches do have some magic; almost everyone loves them. The sunset and sunrise along the beaches make one feel very close to nature. They are ideal for family vacations, honeymoons, or just day trips! Kerala beaches are no different; they are indeed dazzling and beckon people from around the world.
