Major Tourist Attraction
Kovalam Beach
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.
