A visit to the beautiful state of Kerala on the southwestern tip of Indian subcontinent along the Malabar Coast will allow you to discover some of the most exotic beaches of Kerala. Apart from the Kovalam Beach, Varkala Beach, Kappad Beach, Alappuzha Beach and Fort Kochi Beach there is a host of other beaches in Kerala that attract the attention and interest of several around the world.
All the Kerala beaches exude individual charisma in their individual ways. However, none of them will deprive you of some of the nicest experiences like the walks on the shimmering golden sands, strolling in the shades of the palm trees adjoining the beaches and the soft bites into the tender coconuts sold here by the locals. The other beaches in Kerala apart from the well known options can be discussed as below:

A mosque located close by, constructed by Tipu Sultan adds to the historic attractions of Bekal Beach.
