"Kovalam"
means a grove of coconut trees and true to its name the
village offers an endless sight of coconut trees. The
crescent-shaped beach has three parts. The southern most
beach, and the most popular, is light house beach. It offers
an amazing sight of Vizhinjam mosque. The northern Samudra
is a laidback one and time seems stands still here. The
middle, hawah, in the early day, is a beehive of activities
with fishermen setting out for sea. With a high rock
promontory and a calm bay of blue waters, this beach
paradise creates a unique aquarelle on moonlit nights. Azure
water and favorable climate make Kovalam a favorite
year-round spot for swimming. You
could get into any of the Ayurvedic massage centre and
indulge in a rejuvenating herbal, body-toning massage and
holistic therapies.
