Kovalam Beach, Kerala:

The tiny village of Kovalam is placed on the Malabar Coast along the Kerala coastline. The serene town of Kovalam became popular, when its gorgeous and isolated beaches were revealed. ‘Kovalam’ means an orchard of coconut trees which justly gives the beaches a ravishing appearance.

The Kovalam beaches can be divided in three parts, namely, the Lighthouse Beach, the Hawah Beach, and the Samudra Beach. Kovalam is a natural inlet and provides superb facilities for adventurous water-sports and is perfect for swimming, kayaking, surfing and skiing in the shallow blue water and have a sunbath in the exotic tropical sun.

These days Kovalam has developed into one of the most popular beach retreats in India.
