The beach is wonderful, just as India itself is wonderful with all its features. Swimming on this beach is a special art: the wave is very high. Swimming under a wave in the sea is not the same as going back to shore. There are sun beds on the beach, people who are ready to take care of your comfort for 200 rupees, the opportunity to drink coconut juice, eat fruits that will be peeled and cut for you. I like both Kovalam and Light House
The ocean is a great experience!there are many small comfortable cafes right on the shore. There are many shops with a wide variety of goods: souvenirs, jewelry, summer clothes, small things.you can rent a room on the beach right there cheaply with an ocean view.The prices are very affordable and of course it is necessary to bargain, otherwise they will not be respected, it is customary in the south and east, and it is nice to buy what you like cheaper.Above on the shore there is transport, the ubiquitous ‘tuk-tuks'. Shops with fruits and vegetables are generally convenient. The airport is a maximum of 30-40 minutes away. And most importantly, people. They are very friendly and smiling, it is unusual for us, at first it seems that they need something from us, we are all very suspicious.Everyone is smiling and enjoying life here, from small children to the very old.The weather is very comfortable-27-32 plus, the water is about + 30. the air is dry.Take a minimum with you: shorts, a T-shirt and flip-flops-everything! Nothing else is needed.(and swimming trunks or a swimsuit).That's about it.
The names of the beach are conventions. The coastline is continuous, from one stone ridge to another. The waves are almost always here. But everything is clean. After swimming, you can go directly to the veranda in any restaurant. Enter
I was in March 2024, the big waves do not allow me to swim, they say it is not the season. The water is clean, the sand is black, sometimes yellow. You can climb the lighthouse to the observation deck, the ticket is 40 rupees, from a height there is a beautiful view.
Paid deck chairs, 100 rupees a day. There are many Russian speakers, and the Indians themselves already speak Russian.
The food in the cafes is very interesting and delicious, order steaming cabbage - I liked this presentation of the dish. There are a lot of fruits and juices, lassies are also delicious.
In general, it was interesting, beautiful, and it turned out to sunbathe.
Kovalam is an Indian paradise!) Delicious, beautiful, the ocean is magnificent, the waves are strong not for children) Ayurvedic massages are provided, you will return home -10 years)
The rescuers are continuously whistling, the locals are continuously, persistently trying to invite them to cafes, and only I am continuously, mentally, but confidently sending everyone.)
Great beach. Cafes, restaurants, and hotels are within easy reach. Security guards are watching the beach, and if a strong wave is not allowed to go far, because a wave can cause injury to a person.
a beautiful clean beach: cozy, even with waves you can swim, a chaise longue of 100 rupees, cafes nearby, you can admire the ocean while sitting with a cup of coffee
Great beach, always clean, sun beds, umbrellas. Unfortunately, there are very strong waves, less in the morning.
Lifeguards are always present on the beach, they react quickly and provide assistance
