Kovalam Beach

Kovalam is a world-renowned beach destination with a history that transitioned from a secluded fishing village to a royal retreat, and finally to an international "Hippie Trail" hotspot.

Kovalam Beach is one of India's most famous and iconic coastal destinations, renowned for its striking crescent-shaped coastline, shallow waters, and low tidal waves. Located near Thiruvananthapuram, the beach is divided into three main adjacent parts: Lighthouse Beach, Hawah Beach, and Samudra Beach.
​Lighthouse Beach: The southernmost and most popular section, dominated by a striking 30-meter red-and-white striped lighthouse perched on Kurumkal hill, offering panoramic views of the coastline.
​Hawah Beach: Also known as Eve's Beach, this area is frequented by sunbathers and offers a more relaxed stretch of sand with gentle breezes.
​Activities & Atmosphere: Visitors often enjoy swimming, catamaran cruising, sunset viewing, and exploring the vibrant promenade lined with open-air restaurants, ayurvedic massage centers, and handicraft shops.
