Kerala offers an altogether different world to the holidaymakers, as compared to the other parts of the country. Nature's blessings can be seen and experiences, from one corner of the state to the other. The state boasts a number of stunning beach spots where a holiday means having the time of your life. The 600-kilometre-long shoreline has such famous beaches as Alappuzha, Kochi, Kovalam, Varkala, Poovar, Cherai etc. The mild aroma of the coconut groves, the gentle murmur of waves and the seaside lifestyle and sights render the beaches desirable by all.

Some of the most renowned beaches of Kerala are as follows : Alappuzha Beach
Lovingly referred to as the ' Venice of the East', Alappuzha is one of the most preferred beach spots in the southern Indian state of Kerala. The erstwhile thriving port offers a wonderful beach to tourists and travellers from all parts of the world. The exotic town of Alappuzha occupies a position between the Arabian Sea and the Punnamada backwaters. Swaying palms, the gentle waves of the sea and a maze of rivers and canals along with a culture that thrives by its side, Alappuzha can be termed as a destination of a lifespan.

Kochi Beach
Infused with history, the beach at Kochi is one of the most picturesque beaches in the state. It's owing to its wonderful location and heart-stopping scenery, that the beach is fondly called the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea'. Surrounded by numerous tiny exotic islands, the beach remains dotted with interesting historical landmarks. Take out time to visit attractions like the Dutch Palace, the Jewish Synagogue, St Francis Church etc. The sight of the exclusive Chinese Fishing Nets is a major draw for tourists arriving here.

Kovalam Beach
Kovalam, meaning grove of coconut trees, is a worthy addition to the list of beaches in Kerala. Much popular with tourists, the beach exists in a crescent shape, further being segregated into three parts - the Lighthouse Beach, the Hawa Beach and the Samudra Beach. Take a stroll along the beach and observe the local fisherman busy to get their day's catch. In the evening, the Kathakali performances seem to complete the holiday experience.
