Thirty years ago, Kovalam was a hippy idyll:
a picture perfect tropical beach; a traditional fishing village
providing fresh fish, fruits and toddy (coconut beer). Today this
tiny beach is the focus of a multi-million dollar business, drawing
thousands of tourists for a week dose of ozone, UV and a refreshing
Indian Experience. Today Kovalam beach is known as the "Paradise
of the South". "Kovalam" means a grove of coconut
trees and true to its name the village offers an endless sight of
coconut trees. 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. Azure water
and favorable climate make Kovalam a favorite year-round spot for
swimming. Sea here is pacific and shallow where you can take a dip
in the saline waters. The clean white sandy beach will arouse a
temptation irresistible: to lie idle on the sands and tan your body.You
could get into any of the Ayurvedic massage centre and indulge in
a rejuvenating herbal, body-toning massage and holistic therapies.
Today this beach is the focus of thousands of tourists. With a high
rock promontory and a calm bay of blue waters, this beach paradise
creates a unique ambience especially on moonlit nights. In addition,
you can pamper yourself with a herbal, body-toning massage from
an ayurvedic center of your choice.
