from the North to the South of Kerala. One feature is constant though, the
beaches are all dotted with coconut trees in large numbers. Dense groves of
coconut trees extend all over the state along with much more greenery that
makes the state come alive during the monsoons. The coastline is also a hub of
fishing activity. It is also best known for its clean beaches, a favourite
among tourists is the Lighthouse Beach. Nestled on top of a cliff, this place
is ideal for a relaxing vacation. Stunningly picturesque Varkala beach also
proves to be an idyllic getaway looking for some tranquillity and peace. This
strikingly beautiful beach is often sidelined while visiting the much
commercial Kovalam. With its long, winding stretch of cliffs and views that
extend over the Arabian sea, this beach is enough to take anyone’s breath away.
