Kovalam
This is undoubtedly India's most popular beach and easily accessible too! This sun-and-sand destination was once Kerala's best kept secret. Till backpackers, followed by adventure enthusiasts discovered it. The three crescent-shaped beaches define it, but it has several other secluded beaches that are really spectacular. There is much to do now - create sand-castles in the beach, take a catamaran ride, sample of the world's best seafood, indulge into some rejuvenating ayurveda and discover heritage you'll not find anywhere. So pack your bags, and start discovering!
