Bordered on the east by the towering Western Ghats and interspersed with the magical backwaters for much of its length, Kerala’s coast has attracted people through the ages. In ages past it was traders, asylum seekers and empire builders; now it is haven for beach buffs and tourists.

Kerala beaches are sandy and with wide open vistas. Overlooking the Arabian Sea, Fort Kochi beach is a wonderful place from which to view breathtaking sunsets.
