Resting lazily at the southern tip of India and just south of Trivandrum is palm- fringed Kovalam. Of the three crescent shaped beaches that adorn the coastline, the southern-most ‘Lighthouse’ Beach, is a picturesque drawcard. The lighthouse on the promontory offers a spectacular view across to the Vizhinjam Mosque. One can spend days here lolling around on the sand, retreating under the awnings of the nearby beach cafes and simply relaxing. If you are a fan of watersports, try your hand at kayaking, surfing or waterskiing or for a more relaxing pursuit, spend a day sailing the Kerala backwaters on a traditional houseboat. For a spot of shopping and culture visit the bazaars and historical sights of Trivandrum, a mere 20kms away. Whatever your interests there is plenty to do and see in and around Kovalam, allowing you to be as active or inactive as you desire! Overnight - Kovalam (B:3)
