Summary
One of Kerala’s best-regarded beach destinations, Kovalam is a resort town lying approximately eight miles from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala’s state capital. As a result, guided tours to Kovalam are easy to undertake, ensuring visitors to this exquisite section of Indian coastline can experience all that it can offer. Its long arch of soft golden sand, shaded at its fringes by the coconut palms which give Kovalam its name, remains its main attraction. But sunsets from the platform of the 120 feet high Vizhinjam Lighthouse are well worth getting up from a sun lounger, as is the chance to undergo one of a myriad of Ayurvedic treatments.
