Beaches of Kerala

In some areas the sea is unsettled, and it is not safe to swim there. But near many resorts there is a lagoon on the far shore of which is a clean, beautiful and tranquil beach. Guests are taken there by boat.
Kappad is a "historic" beach, where Vasco da Gama personally landed (now in honor of this memorable event, a column was erected there, at which the motley flocks of tourists were photographed). The beach is sandy, very quiet and calm, not too crowded.
Alapuzha (Alappuzha) is popular as a place of relaxation. The area there is very picturesque - lagoons, lakes, many rivers. The beach is sandy, at one end - dense palm thickets. There is also an entertainment park "Vijaya Beach" with picnic sites, a children's playground and boating.
Varkala is one of the most popular resorts of Kerala, mainly because of the local healing mineral springs that beat from the high cliffs surrounding the beach. Local residents own the art of special massage and apply it to the bodies of holidaymakers for a moderate fee.
Kovalam is a natural bay ideal for kayaking, swimming, surfing and water skiing .In many places along the coast there are small coral reefs, between which you can swim on the catamarans .The coastal waters are clean and calm .The local beach can be divided into three sections: the southern ("Beach by the lighthouse", the most popular), the middle (Havah) and the northern (Samudra) .Along the whole coast there are many shops and trays with national clothes, ornaments, crafts by local masters, as well as a variety of restaurants .
The beach of Marari, which has not yet become a well-known place, offers its rare guests a long strip of excellent sand and palm groves. It is best there to come to those who seek maximum privacy. On the beach built a new hotel The Marari Beach, designed in the style of a local settlement, but equipped in accordance with the latest requirements.
Beypore (Beypore) was in ancient times one of the most developed seaports of Kerala. Local docks are still being inspected by curious tourists, while ordinary Indian people are building "Uru" there - traditional Arab merchant ships. It also built an impressive bridge of huge stones, outstanding in the sea for almost two kilometers. Not far from the beach is Lake Pukot, where you can rent a boat for skating on the lake and visit a freshwater aquarium.
Moppila Bay (Moppila) is a natural fishing harbor located near the ruins of Fort Sant'Angelo. The beach is still intact, but the harbor itself has recently been modernized. The sea wall separates the open sea from the beach waters.
Muzhapilangad (Muzhappilangad) is a four-kilometer beach, located 15 km from Kannur. This is the only beach in India that you can drive by car. Black rocks protect it from sea waves, making coastal waters comfortable and relatively safe.
Bekal (Bekal) - a sandy beach surrounded by palm trees, very quiet and calm. From the local historical Fort Bekal to the beach stretches a gentle slope of the hill, rugged ravines and overgrown with picturesque greenery, a wonderful area for hiking.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Kerala
In Kerala tourists are waiting for travel through the jungle, reserves and plantations of spices, swimming on "hauzbots" on lagoons and backwaters, visiting lake, mountain and beach resorts. There is also the famous Cochin - a city on a dozen islands. The last twenty centuries there were run in turn by the Arabs, the Chinese, Jews, Portuguese, Dutch, English and the Indians themselves. And all managed to decently "inherit", so there is much to see in Cochin.
So huge bird flocks are the main local attraction. To their places of habitation it is possible to make boat excursion. There are also excellent places for fishing and simply riding in swamps full of white lilies.
In the small settlement of Guruvayur is the sacred Temple of Krishna. In addition, the Javhar National Park is interesting, extensive and very beautiful.
