Kovalam Travel Guide
Kovalam is a small beach town located in the district
of Thiruvanantpuram. Kovalam is unarguably a place to
chill out in India. It not only attracts tourists from
India, but overseas as well. The word “Kovalam”
can be defined as a collection of coconut trees. Actually,
you can see here many trees along the tree. The beaches
are a treat to watch, as here you can see white sands
and water jutting out of the sea. This marvelous beach
is a tourist's dream comes true. And if you are sick and
tired of beach, there many other things to do. You can
go shopping and you will find some ethnic handicrafts,
jewelry and art on display.
History: The European guests of the then
Travancore kingdom discovered the potentiality of Kovalam
beach as a tourist destination in the 1930s. But the real
fame as an ideal beach resort was won later for the Kovalam
beach in the early 17th century with arrivals of the masses
of 'Hippys'. It was a debut of the transformation of just
a casual fishing village of Kerala into one of the most
important tourist destinations in the world. Nowadays,
you can also see here a number of foreign tourists who
are actually chartered tourists.
Places of interest: Breathtakingly beautiful
beaches are the main attraction of Kovalam. They are always
abuzz with the hundreds of tourists across the world.
The crescent shaped beaches of Kovalam can be divided
in to main three parts. The southern most and most popular
beach is the Lighthouse beach, from where one can have
spectacular view of Vizhinzam mosque. It is the best beach

hasn’t affected by the time. It is replete with
some basic wooden fishing vessels. The last and middle
one is named Hawah; each morning local fishermen start
their work from this very beach.
