Let the experts guide you to the best of this mesmerizing destination
In spite of its small size, there are plenty of places to visit in Kovalam. It offers alluring views and is one of the must-visit places in Kerala. There are plenty of tourist spots in Kovalam, which will treat the eyes of every traveler.
The most celebrated and well-known tourist place in Kovalam is the Lighthouse Beach. It has a mesmerizing view and an abundance of things to offer. Many a time, tourists end up revisiting this beach area because of the wholesome experience that it offers. Not only can you engage in water sports like swimming and surfing, you can also play sports like volleyball and football on the beach.

When it comes to beaches and places to see in Kovalam, the Hawa Beach is not far behind. It is quieter in comparison to the Lighthouse beach, but the views are almost just as beautiful. The shores are lined up with numerous trees and the water, running up to the beach, looks serene and calming. The fishermen around that area are generous enough to offer short rides in their boats for those who wish to enjoy the sunset or the sunrise. This beach is definitely worth a visit.

If you still want to quench your desire for beaches, there’s the Chowara Beach and the Shanghumukham Beach that you can add to you list of places to visit in Kovalam. There is also a resort, which is very close to the beach and offers ayurvedic healing.

Trip to Kerala
Real time assistance of the travel agent. Nicely managed. Prompt response. Supportive on catering to the multiple requests. Recommended for ad hoc plans and make the best of the trip.Trip to Kerala
The hotel at Munnar and Thekkady were very good. The cab service was also very good. The only setback from the trip was the houseboat service. I was provided a booking in Sreekrisna Houseboat was not very highly rated and other better options could have been provided. Evidently so, the houseboat had sub-standard amenities. The itenary had mentioned three staff present at houseboat but there were only two with the captain of the boat also serving as a helper. The food menu for the candle light dinner was below average which was no way close to a romantic candle light dinner.Trip to Kerala
sincerely appreciate how thoughtfully planned our Kerala tour experience was. Our driver was excellent, helpful, and always pleasant. It was wonderful to have the same driver thoughout our trip. We appreciated the knowledge, insights, and dialogues with our driver who is also guide. I am so grateful to this travel company for giving us such wonderful memories of our time in KERALA. Enjoyed in Munnar. Best thing is Kovalam tripTrip to Kerala
The trip was good ..But I have requested to book backwaters house boat in Alleppy but the travelsailor.com provided somewhere else "Cherthala".I wanted to visit Alleppy once but the driver also denied to take us to Alleppy because he needs to drive 23kms more .and he was always rushing and simply asked us to see the place and come .We cannot spend much time in most of the arrtactions.Trip to Kerala

Ayurveda and Yoga should probably be available at your place of stay itself. If not, there are a number of Ayurvedic and Yogic centres on and off the beach. Only go for centres recognised by the Department of Tourism.
Surfing, wooden boat rides and motor boat rides are some of the activities that can be done. Sunbathing, swimming, herbal body toning massages, special cultural programmes and catamaran cruising are also some of the activities people go for.
There are many restaurants along the beachfront at Lighthouse Beach. The days catch is usually laid in front of them in the evening for those who like fish. The specialty of the area is Chicken Fry. Fried chicken in a red masala paste with freshly cut chillis. Vegetable sambal, paratha (a richer version of roti), beef fry and fish fry are commonly available.
Kovalam is about 16 km (20 minutes in a taxi) from Trivandrum which is the nearest railway station and airport to Kovalam. Both taxis and buses are available from there.
Beaches being the major tourist attractions, Kovalam offers a number of beachside budget resorts which are preferred by tourists from all over the world. Moreover, the city does have plenty of hotels and guest houses as well.
