Kovalam
Kovalam is the crescent beach strip south of Thiruvananthapuram, known for Lighthouse Beach, Hawa Beach, and easy Ayurveda stays. The red-and-white Vizhinjam lighthouse sits above the rocky headland and anchors the classic postcard view. Travelers use it for swimming when the sea is calm, sunset walks, and spa days close to the capital airport. Samudra Beach is quieter if Lighthouse Beach feels busy. Kovalam works as a short coastal break or the start of a southern Kerala itinerary toward Varkala and beyond.
