Kovalam is a sheltered natural bay. Enjoy the luxury of its sun and surf - a beach paradise, the boundless blue of the Arabian sea and the unwinding smiles of fine sanded beaches washed by the surf which roars and hisses at the feet of the swishing palms. Men and women dot the beach lying in languorous indolence under thatched umbrellas enthusiastic swimmers plunge even deeper in to water. It is as through you have wanted in to some topical paradise. You can go round the light house between four and five pm.
POOVAR
Poovar is one among the natural wonders where the Lake, River, Sea and Beach meet the land. A rare find in Kerala, the southern state of India
Poovar is unspoilt and unexplored, envoloped by the most serene backwaters, and opening out to the sea and a dream golden sand beach.The historical importance of Poovar has its strong ties with the legendary King of the erstwhile Princely State of Travancore, the great Marthanda Varma Maharaja
Raja Marthanda Varma ( 1706 - 1761 ) was born at a time when the royal power of his family was declining. In fact, the Raja was once outsted from his throne and in exile. But, a strong ruler, Marthanda Varama Maharaja not only regained his lost land but also enlarged his kingdom besides reasserting the royal power during his 29-year rule from 1729 to 1758. And, the success story of the Maharaja had close links with the small and beautiful land of Povar, situated on the south of the Neyyar River
