Beaches in Kerala
Kerala beaches to take up a backseat because of the backwater
cruises and the Ayurveda holidays, but nevertheless if you are in
Kerala and you haven't visited the coastal beauties or beaches yet,
Go Now! Kerala beaches give a break from the tourist rush that one
finds in Goa, because they are "undiscovered beach hideaways" of
Kerala. Some of the most known beach hideouts of Kerala include Fort
Kochi Beach, just 12-km away from Kochi city. Taking a leisurely
walk through the lanes of the city is the best way to discover
historic Fort Kochi.
The historic beach of Kappad is remembered as the one where Vasco da
Gama landed on the 27th of May 1498 with 170 men in three vessels,
thus discovering a sea route to India. Varkala beach is a seaside
resort cum spa and is also an important Hindu centre of pilgrimage.
No beach visit to Kerala is complete without visiting the Kovalam
beach, comprising of the most salubrious coastal beauty than any
other beach site of Kerala.
