Lighthouse Beach

Lighthouse Beach is Kovalam's most famous and vibrant beach — a 400-metre crescent of golden sand overlooked by the iconic Vizhinjam Lighthouse, lined with beach shacks, Ayurvedic massage centres, souvenir shops, and seafood restaurants. One of Kerala's top beach destinations for families and couples, it offers safe swimming (lifeguards present), surfing lessons, sunbathing, and spectacular lighthouse-lit evenings. A must on every South India coastal itinerary. Best October to March.
