Nearby Attractions:
Vizhinjam is 2 km. away from Kovalam. Europeans, Portuguese and Dutch
had commercial ties with the local kings during the pre-colonial days.
Ruins of rock-cut temples have been found, substantiating the port
town's centuries-old heritage.
Today, it offers
nothing but a slice of Kerala's coastal life: fishing boats jostling for
space; wiry fishermen hastily repairing fishing net. Petty
altercations among fishermen over the price of days catch perfectly
blends with rumblings of bellowing waves. Come dusk, shore would be
reverberating with the heehaw of fishermen pushing fishing
boats to the sea.
