God’s Own Country – Beaches.
Following the beautiful hill stations, let us move to wet our feet in beaches. Though there are nearly 20 beaches available in Kerala, my favorite three are Kovalam, Cherai and Varkala beaches.
Kovalam Beach: This fascinating beach resort is located at 16km away from Trivandrum. The lovely coconut and Palm trees, touching the golden sands adds to the beauty of this beach.
Sitting in the beach sand during evening and watching sunset will remain as a painted picture in your heart for ever.

The Ayurveda massage centers, medication centers, Yoga centers are few main attractions of foreigners in this beach. Vizhinjam is a sea port located 3 km from this beach, which is famous for its special and rare varieties of fishes.

Cherai Beach: This lovely beach is located at 30-35 km from Kochi (Cochin). It is also called as “The Princess of the Queen of the Arabian Sea”, as it is the best and most clean golden beaches of Kerala.
The newly built walk ways add to the attractions. Another attraction of Cherai is the fresh and delicious sea foods available there.

Varkala Beach: It is located at a distance of 75km from Kollam. This is a right place for those who want to avoid crowds and be out of the busiest life.
One of the best beach resorts to relax. It is famous for its mineral springs, which are believed to have curing properties.
