Kovalam is a natural bay on the Arabian Sea coast of Kerala, festooned with crescent-shaped beaches encircled by bounteous coconut and palm trees. Kovalam Beach is an ideal backdrop for sun and sea bathing. Since the 1930s, this famous beach resort has been a favorite haunt for international tourists especially the Europeans.

Sight Seeing
Kovalam, located 10 km from Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) is composed of three small falcate beaches flanking each other, namely, the Lighthouse Beach, Hawa Beach and Samudra Beach.

Tourists idle away most of their time in the Lighthouse Beach, the southern most beach. There is a lighthouse situated on an isthmus at the south end of the beach that presents a fabulous view of the sea and nearby Vizhinjam Mosque. The middle beach is the Hawa Beach that is the focal point for local fishermen every morning. The high rock promontory that cuddles the clear blue waters, white sand and green coconut palms makes Hawa Beach a tropical paradise! The Samudra Beach is a serene, secluded beach less explored and least influenced by the altering times. It is an ideal place to relax. Simple wooden fishing vessels line up along the periphery of the beach.
