Welcome to Kerala’s Iconic Beach Town
Kovalam is all about clean beaches, curving bays, lighthouses, and the steady sound of the Arabian Sea. Palm trees lean over golden sand, fishing boats rest along the shore, and evenings glow with beachside cafés and lights. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively enough to keep you engaged. Kovalam is perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers who want a classic beach holiday with beautiful scenery and a touch of Kerala culture.
Must-Visit Attractions in Kovalam
Lighthouse Beach
This is the most famous beach in Kovalam. The red-and-white striped lighthouse on the hill is its main landmark. Climb to the top for wide ocean views and perfect photographs, especially around sunset.
Hawa Beach (Eve’s Beach)
Located next to Lighthouse Beach, Hawa Beach has a calmer and more local vibe. It’s great for morning walks, watching fishermen at work, and relaxing by the waves.
Samudra Beach
Quieter than the other two, Samudra Beach is ideal if you prefer peace and fewer crowds. Rocky patches and palm trees add to its scenic beauty.
Vizhinjam Harbor
A short distance from Kovalam, this busy fishing harbor shows the real coastal lifestyle. Colorful boats, fresh catches, and daily market activity make it interesting to visit.
Unique Experiences in Kovalam
Water sports and beach activities
Try surfing, parasailing, snorkeling, or simple swimming depending on the season and safety conditions. You can also take catamaran rides arranged by local fishermen.

What Makes Kovalam Special
Kovalam combines a classic beach holiday with Kerala’s warmth and hospitality. The lighthouse skyline, palm-fringed shores, Ayurveda centers, and fishing villages all add variety to the experience.
