Alappuzha; A Mesmerising Beach

A vast network of lagoons and lakes; rivers criss-crossing through the paddy fields and Arabian Sea on the west, Alapuzzha lying in the southern part of India, makes a great beach destination. Though popular for its backwaters and its houseboats, Alappuzha has carved a name in beach tourism.

Palm fringed white sands stretching for miles, you can just forget every thing. Plan a holiday to Alappuzha beach and make merry in the silver sands. Far from the madding crowd, relax your soul and mind in the sands of Alappuzha. Just walk around or lie down and see the beauty of the sun going down the horizon. Just have a tender coconut and relax in the palm-fringed shades that dot the beach. The Alappuzha beach experience is really amazing.

A great attraction in Alappuzha beach is the pier that extends into the sea. It is over 135 years old and you can just climb over it and see the beauty of the sea down below. Then there is Vijaya Beach Park, where one has the facility for boating. Another attraction is the old lighthouse.

Apart from relaxing your soul and mind on the Allapuzha sands, you can also go for surfing and parasailing. If you love speed and love to splash through the deep blue waters, get into a water-scooter or a high-speed boat.

Fondly called as the Venice of the East, Alappuzha beach is a real experience that you will never forget.
