Kerala, the land speckled with spotless virgin beaches and enchanting backwaters is certainly a tourists delight. Each beach is different from the other in its appeal and natural beauty. Depending on your company and duration of the stay, you can customise your Kerala Tour Packages and take memories back home that would last a lifetime. Diversity of the beach locations has made Kerala one of the most visited states of India by foreigners.


If you are a lover of immaculate, clean andpristine beaches, away from the din of city life, Kerala is a perfect destination to choose. The state boasts of a coastline that is 580 km. long. Every beach on this vast stretch of land is unique and marvellous in its own way. Some of them are located pretty close to the city, while others are securely hidden away by a village or forest.


Let us have a look at what these beaches are famous for:


Kovalam Beach


Kovalam is regarded as the star beach of Kerala. A trip to Kerala is never ...
... complete without a visit to Kovalam. Located close to the capital city of Thiruvananthapuram, Kovalam is known for her open air restaurants, unique crescent shape coastline and calm waters. If you are looking for an active sea side holiday, this is the ideal place for you.


Marari Beach


Marari is diametrically opposite to Kovalam in every aspect. It is a small sleepy fishing village located on the way to Alleppey from Kochi. You can enjoy endless stretches of golden sandy coastline with only a few souls for company. This beach is ideal for peace loving people and for those who are planning to book a Kerala honeymoon tour package.


Bekal Beach


Bekal Beach has a very picturesque setting against the backdrop of one of Kerala’s best preserved forts. Unlike Kovalam or Marari Beach, Bekal is a rocky beach which is not ideal for swimming. There is a zoo and park nearby, where kids can enjoy themselves.


Muzhappilangad Beach


Muzhappilangad Beach is the only drive in beach of Kerala. The beach is very close to the National Highway. The sand is hard enough for cars to be driven on it. Almost 90% of the 5 km. long beach is accessible by car. It is a great place to enjoy Kerala Holidays with Your Family.


Varkala


Tourist who findKovalam beach too crowded and noisy, rush to Varkala for sunbathing and sea bathing. The beach is at a distance of 50 km. from the capital city and has a cliff that runs parallel to the coast. It offers one of the most spectacular views of the setting sun.


Kannur Beach


Kannur is another quaint offbeat location perfect for a wandering soul who wants to experience some peace and tranquillity away from the cacophony of daily life. Kannur beach is also renowned for the ageless folk art of Theyyam, which is celebrated from October to May.


Andhakaranazh Beach


This is another secluded beach in Alleppey, which is located at a distance of about 30 km. from Kochi. The beach has a beautiful lighthouse and stunning sun kissed shorelines.


Kappad Beach


Kappad is a historical beach where Vasco da Gama landed way back in 1498. This beach is a combination of rocky and sandy coastline and is ideal for swimming. The entry to this beach is very striking as you need to cross the backwaters to reach this beach.


There are numerous other beaches in Kerala, which are equally fascinating and bewitching for foreign and local tourists alike. You need to visit ‘God’s Own Country once in your lifetime to realise why it dubbed as one of the best holiday destinations.
