7 Must-Visit Beaches In Kerala

Among the best in India, Kerala's beaches

Best for Action: Kovalam Beach

The busiest and most developed beach in Kerala, Kovalam Beach, is where you'll undoubtedly find action if you're looking for it.

Best for Romance: Samudra Beach

A mile or two north of Kovalam Beach, Samudra Beach is a better alternative if you'd prefer somewhere a little more private.

Best for Wellness: Varkala Beach

Regarding ambience and amenities, Varkala Beach, also called Papanasam Beach, is among the best in Kerala.

Best for Serenity: Marari Beach

For those who would want to spend some time at the beach in between taking a houseboat journey in the backwaters, quiet Marari Beach is conveniently located near Alappuzha (previously Alleppey).

Best for Culture: Kannur

The small Indian town of Kannur, off the usual path, is well-known for its remote beaches, handloom weaving, and enigmatic Theyyam ceremonies involving the possession of spirits in masks.

Most Unique: Muzhappilangad Drive-In Beach

Kannur is also home to Muzhappilangad Drive-In Beach. Reportedly the longest drive-in beach in Asia, the 2.5-mile stretch is the only beach in Kerala where you can drive (or cycle!) on the sand.

Best for Luxury and History: Bekal Beach

Bekal Beach, located in far North Kerala and about 90 minutes' drive from Karnataka's Mangalore International Airport, is well-known for its historic fort.
