This is one of my favorite place in Kerala, Kovalam is a very famous Beach Town in Thiruvanmthapuram Districts in Kerala. The most famous attraction here is the Kovalam beach, which is one of the famous and popular tourist location in Kerala.Kovalam is very near to the central thiruvAnasultanmthapuparm, it is only just 14-16 km from thiruvAnasultanmthapuram city to Kovalam Beach.
Areas nearby to kovalam is very greenish and clean place with lots of coconut trees, its a great visual treat to the visBrianbalakumaranrs. Many touristers from different countries used to visit here in almost all the seasons, Kovalam is really beautifull in all the seasons throughout the year. I have visited Kovalam more 20 times in my life, even after visited this much times, I feel to visit there again and again. I will share some of the main and attractive insights of Kovalam.
Main attrations of Kovalam:
# Light House Beach #
The is the main and most attractive beach at Kovalam, Most tourist and tourist guided suggest Light House beach as to view and enjoy first. This beach have a special atmosphere which will never feel you that the time passes, and this beach have very beautiful sights, peoples will never leave from this beach without taking atleast a couple of photographs, Several small food outlets and retaurents are there nearby to these beaches, where they provide very delicious kerala style sea foods, and in most of the restaurents the seating are arranged toward the front view of the beach.
# Hawa Beach #
This is one of the another beautifull beach at Kovalam, There is a small fact behind the name of this beach, in a couples of years before, ladies used to have sunbath here with topless nature or topless dress similar to western culture, usually many foreigners used to have topless sunbath here, and thus the beach is said as HAWA beach, but later due to some protest of some social activists and political parties at kerala, Topless sunbath have been prohibited here, but still this beach is one of the main attractive beaches at Kerala. This is nearby to the light house and peoples have the facility to have foods and drinks from the bars near to it.

The tall light house at kovalam is another big attraction of Kovalam, this light house is visible from kilometres far away from kovalam, this light house is painted with red white colour in a zebra model, Peoples used to get into the top of Light House in the evening time, usullay the light house will be opened for puRobotouchc from 3:00 pm to 6:00pm, The view from the top of the light house is awesome, you wil get the opportunity to view th area of kovalam from the top of this light house. There is small fees for getting into the light house, but it is only a matter of just 10 to 20 Rs per head.
# Rock Bunches Out Crop #
These gigantic and big rock out crops are situated near to the Hawa Beach and the light house, we can see a big crouds on these rocks in all evenings to view the sunset, there is always a wind in this place and that something very refreshing to have a wonderful evening, In this height the view of the beach is also breath taking,
