Get ready for an exclusive trip to Kerala’s beaches, where you can enjoy the least reached beach to the most reached ones. I am dividing the beaches region wise so that it becomes easier for you to choose which places you want to visit. I am also providing a list of some interesting places to visit nearby the popular beaches so that you can make your Kerala tourism packages a wholesome entertainer. Either you can select the beaches you find interesting and just visit them or ask a reputed tour operator to arrange for a customized tour of Kerala’s esteemed beaches. Some of the popular beaches in Kerala are Bekkal, Calicut,  Beypore, Kannur, Ponnani, Azhikode, Cherai,  Fort Kochi, Kollam, Mararikkulam, Allepey, Varkala, Trivandrum and Kovalam nearly travelling from north to south of the state.

Romantic beaches in the southern part of Kerala – from Trivandrum to Allepey region

Poovar has the most romantic beaches and resorts in this area. It is among the southernmost beaches of Kerala. It is a natural island near Kovalam which has some floating cottages frequently booked by honeymoon couples on Kerala packages. Then we have Kovalam’s crescent-shaped beaches which are very romantic. The Hawa beach, Asoka beach and lighthouse beach are renowned for the scenic and romantic sunsets that are truly mesmerising. There’s one more beach, Samudra, in Kovalam which is basically the fishermen’s beach. You can visit this beach during your honeymoon holidays if you wish to buy some fresh fish for cooking. You can enjoy the flavourful seafood from the beachside resorts and also engage in some exciting activities like parasailing, catamaran ride, kayaking, swimming etc.

The resorts also offer invigorating Ayurvedic massages for the honeymoon couples. You can also visit the Azhimala and Chowwara beaches nearby. Trivandrum is next in the list which is an interesting place for Kerala holiday packages for families as well as honeymoon couples. Trivandrum has many beaches most of which are totally secluded. You must visit the Shanghumugham beach which is very beautiful and renowned for its romantic sunset views and the huge sculpture of Mermaid or Jalakanyaka installed there. Trivandrum can be an interesting place to visit for your honeymoon as this capital city has many exciting places like the museums, art galleries, palaces and the zoo to visit. You can enjoy boating at the Veli resorts and gardens. There’s ample scope for shopping too in Trivandrum. Another interesting place nearby is the Ponmudi hill station which has the highest peak on the Western Ghats, Agastyarkoodam. There are temples, churches, mosques, malls and amusement parks in Trivandrum you can visit in your trip as with most of the cities in Kerala. One striking scene you can see here is that of endless coconut groves.

Kollam beach is an astonishing place. Though it looks the most serene beach in Kerala, it is the most notorious one in the state. Kollam and Varkala beaches are the only beaches in Kerala which have lifeguards posted. You can visit the lighthouse, Thangasseri breakwater, Marine Aquarium, and Jalakeli Kendram in Kollam. Kollam is also popular for backwater cruise which is much loved by the honeymoon couples on Kerala tour packages from Delhi. Varkala’s Papanasam beach is a popular spot you can visit while travelling from Trivandrum to Allepey.

The lukewarm water springs from the tall cliffs near the beach are believed to have a magical effect and hence the name Papanasam meaning one that washes away the sins. Other interesting places to visit in Varkala on your astounding Kerala tour packages from Mumbai are the Tiruvambadi beach, Krishnapuram Palace, backwaters of Paravoor, Kappil lake, Varkkala Tunnel and the Anjengo Fort. Allepey is the next fabulous destination which is one of the favourites for honeymoon couples. The houseboat cruise is more popular than the beaches, though. You must experience the cruise on a traditional Kettuvallom or houseboat in the water channels of Allepey. The sceneries are stunning and it will leave a unique impression on the tourists. Seafood, backwater cruise and shopping for handicrafts are the popular activities tourists can engage in Allepey. You can stop by the Mararikkulam beach which is ranked among the top 5 beaches in the world. You can visit the Kalari Kovilakom and stay back for a rejuvenating Ayurvedic massage this place is very admired for. You must visit the Chittoor Kottaram or palace and the Spice Village which are truly humbling experiences you can get during your honeymoon tour in Kerala.

 Amazing beaches in the central part of Kerala – Fort Kochi, Cherai and Azhikode

Central Kerala is more famous for being the economic hub of Kerala. Though Fort Kochi is a popular heritage spot in Kerala, the beach there is very popular among the honeymoon couples on Kerala tours. You can visit the Jewish Synagogue, museums, art galleries, churches and palaces in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry nearby. These places are very close to Kochi city and it will be the ideal place to stay for your holidays in this part of Kerala. You can visit the malls, do some shopping in the city, enjoy the wide variety of cuisine available here and also enjoy a romantic sunset by the Marine Drive facing the backwaters.

Chinese fishing nets are an important landmark of Fort Kochi and Cherai beaches. You can visit the Puthuvype beach and Njarakkal fish farm on the way to Cherai Beach. The Njarakkal fish farm will be a great experience for the seafood lovers. Cherai beach is a beautiful and serene place which will not be very crowded during the weekdays. The resorts nearby serve fabulous seafood. You can also visit the Munambam harbour which is one of the major fishing harbours of Kochi. Next, on cards is the Azhikode beach which attracts a lot of family crowd during the weekends. Otherwise, it is a vast and secluded beach, perfect for Kerala honeymoon packages.

Astounding beaches in Northern Kerala region – Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasargod

Ponnani belongs to the Malabar region which is the popular name for the northern Kerala districts. Ponnai beach is a small and beautiful beach which will be a good place to relax during your Kerala travel. Kozhikode has quite a few fabulous beaches some of which are the Kozhikode beach in the city, Kappad Beach and the Koyilandi beach. While in Kozhikode, relish the typical Malabar flavours served for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. This is the perfect place for foodies! Kozhikode city has a lot of amusements like malls and shopping arcades which are famous for the most fashionable apparels and jewellery for women and men. Kannur is another great place to visit for the beaches and backwaters which are rarely explored by the tourists. I think the beaches of Malabar region will be the best place for scintillating honeymoon packages in Kerala which can be enjoyed in privacy. The Thottda beach in Kannur is a stunning combination of backwaters, coconut groves and the beach all of which will steal your heart.

 You can visit the Meenkunnu beach to experience the fishermen’s life, the Ezhimala beach, the Ezhara and Kizhuna beaches that look simply gorgeous. If you have never been to a walk-in island, Kannur is the place for you. The Dharmadam Island, which is hardly a kilometre from Muzhapilangad beach, can be walked into during the low tides. The Muzhapilangad beach is popular for being the only drive-in beach in Kerala. You can also visit the Baby beach, Payyambalam beach and the Mappil bay which are popular tourist escapades in Kannur. Moving further north, you will reach Beypore which has a stunning display of the classic Uru or wooden ship which was used for travel and transportation of goods to the Middle East once upon a time. Bekal beach and the fort is another rare combination found in Kerala. A beach that caresses the walls of the fort! This place is very romantic as it has come in movies like Bombay where the hero is singing a soulful song for the heroine! This is a perfect place for your honeymoon packages too.
