virtually its entire 600 km length, the Kerala coast is
lined with sandy beaches, rocky promontories and coconut
palms. Each year greater numbers of visitors arrive here
in search of the tranquil, palm fringed beaches.
Sharing its western border with the Arabian sea, Kerala
has a 600 km long shoreline dotted with some of the
finest, most charming beaches of the world, coconut
groves, natural harbours, lagoons and sheltered coves.
All of its as peaceful as the rest of the land, washed
