The backwaters of Kerala take up all the name and fame but still, the 900 km shoreline of Kerala is still a great place to be as there are some beautiful beaches present in the state. The waters are known for their gentleness and the rich blue colour that they have. Many sandy beaches, rocky promontories and coconut palms make these beaches very special.
The Kovalam beach and the Alappuzha beach are amongst the most famous ones of all the beaches. The other beaches are Marari beach, Kumarakom beach, Varkala beach, Kappad beach, Fort Kochi beach, Beypore beach, Dharmadam beach, Ezhimala beach, Moppila Bay, Muzhappilangad Beach, Pathiramanal beach, Payyambalam beach, Sankhumugham beach, Tanur beach, Thangassery beach, and the Thirumullavaram beach. All these beaches provide great holiday destinations to the tourists who visit the state.
