except in private coves owned by resorts. Visitors frequent these two
beaches. The northern part of the beach is known as Samudra Beach in
tourism parlance. A large promontory separates this part from the southern
side. Samudra Beach doesn't have tourists thronging there or hectic
business. The local fishermen ply their trade on this part. The sands on the
beaches in Kovalam are partially black in colour due to the presence of
ilmenite and thorazite. The normal tourist season is from September to May.
Ashoka beach is also the part of Kovalam beach. Upon arrival check in at
Hotel. Afternoon relax on the beach.Overnight stay at Hotel.
Day 8:
Full day at leisure on the beach.It is the place to rejuvenate
your body, mind and soul ecstatically.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. It is warm and clean filled with the coconut trees and the white
sandbed as the seabreeze gently plays with the waves. Swimming and
bathing are very refreshing and exhilirating in the waves. One can walk into
the sea for about 100 metres without loosing ground. This cove is also the
safest place for swimming. At many coastal places there are beautiful
patches of coral reefs. The underwater views, which are visible during
snorkeling, are really marvellous. Overnight at Hotel.
