After breakfast proceed to Kovalam beach destinations. The beaches of Kerala are as titillating as the rest of the tourism fare it offers. Its serene, tranquil coastline puts it on par with Goa as a beach tourism destination. Arguably the most popular and well-known among them is Kovalam, 16 kilometers from Thiruvananthapuram and by far the most frequented. This is a real chill-out zone that the die-hard sea seekers rave about. Its shallow waters stretch meters into the placid sea that rarely springs a nasty surprise. The even temperature of the water at all times makes it a 24-hour-dip beach location. There is a Bohemian gaiety and abandon the place exudes, that enhance the experience beyond a mere beach and surf theme.
