Kerala has a vast coast line which influences the culture, tradition and heritage of the people. For fun lovers, adventure enthusiasts and people fond of water sports there cannot be a better place than Kerala. The tourism department has taken excellent initiative to enhance the water sports and backwater tourism in the state.
The state has numerous beaches spread across the entire length of the state and some of the popular ones are:
Varkala beach located fifty one km from the capital city Thiruvananthapuram is the most visited beach. The beach which lies in the quiet village has numerous site seeing places in and around. Apart from the beach there is a two thousand years old Vishnu Temple and the Sivagiri Mutt as major attractions.
Kovalam beach is a den of foreign tourists and has three adjoining crescent beaches. The elaborate arrangements for water sports and availability of excellent restaurants serving authentic sea foods have made this beach very popular. The availability of a massive rocky cape in the beach facilitates sea bathing in the beautiful bay of calm waters.
Bekal beach is located in Kasaragod region which is in the extreme north of Kerala. The district is popular for its forts, hills, rivers and beautiful beaches.

Some of the other prominent beaches in the state are at Alappuzha, Trivandrum, Kollam and Thiruvambadi in southern region. In the Northern Kerala Kozhikode, Vadakara, Kasargod and Kannur have few beaches and when it comes to the central part we can find beautiful beaches at Ernakulam, Malappuram, Kochi and Thrissur.
Kerala backwaters
Kerala backwaters or black lagoons are the chain of lakes that lie along the Arabian Sea. They offer excellent tourism and are a source of livelihood for the people. The houseboats which are popularly called kettuvallams in native language are a prominent attraction of backwater. Honeymoon package, family gathering and picnics can be organized in these houseboats, which present an excellent feel of the nature. They offer all sorts of comforts to the visitors. There are also regular ferries service for frequent travelers to reach various destinations and these ferries are the cheapest mode of transport through backwaters. Kumarakom has numerous resorts around the popular Vembanad Kayal and the backwaters.
Kerala visit is incomplete without a journey through the backwaters and experiencing the beautiful beaches.
