Kovalam Beach
Kovalam Beach, located just 16 kilometers from Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), Kerala, is renowned worldwide for its breathtaking natural beauty and serene ambiance. Nestled along the Arabian Sea coast, Kovalam consists of three crescent-shaped beaches: Lighthouse Beach, Hawah Beach (Eve's Beach), and Samudra Beach. Each beach offers its own distinct charm and activities, making Kovalam a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. Lighthouse Beach, the most popular among the three, derives its name from the old Vizhinjam Lighthouse located atop a rocky promontory. The beach is known for its soft golden sands, clear blue waters, and vibrant local life. Tourists often enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and indulging in various water sports such as surfing, parasailing, and snorkeling here.
