Tours to Kerala’s beaches

Almost the entire length of the Keralan coast is lined by beautiful white-sand beaches and coconut groves. Most still support robust fishing communities, whose wooden boats provide a pretty backdrop for dips in the warm surf of the Arabian Sea.

For a relaxing sun holiday, our top tips are the string of coves to the south of Kovalam (near the capital, Trivandrum), quieter Marari near Alappuzha in central Kerala, and Nileshwar and Thottada in the far north.
