Kerala beaches
to take up a backseat because of the backwater cruises and the
Ayurveda
holidays, but nevertheless if you are in Kerala and you haven't visited
the coastal beauties or beaches yet, Go Now! Kerala beaches give a break
from the tourist rush that one finds in Goa, because they are
"undiscovered beach hideaways" of Kerala. Some of the most
known beach hideouts of Kerala include Fort Kochi Beach, just 12-km away
from Kochi city. Taking a leisurely walk through the lanes of the city
is the best way to discover historic Fort Kochi.
The historic beach of Kappad is remembered as the one where Vasco da
Gama landed on the 27th of May 1498 with 170 men in three vessels, thus
discovering a sea route to India. Varkala beach is a seaside resort cum
spa and is also an important Hindu centre of pilgrimage. No beach visit
to Kerala is complete without visiting the Kovalam beach, comprising of
the most salubrious coastal beauty than any other beach site of Kerala
