Kovalam, the moon beach

The main purpose of our Trivandrum visit was to spend half a day (read sunset ) at Kovalam. We were done with most of our Trivandrum city sight seeing by 2 PM after which we grabbed some quick lunch and headed for Kovalam. From Trivandrum City (M G Road),Kovalam is around 15 kilometres.It is a straight road and the road condition is also very good.

  Since it was noon and traffic was also less we reached Kovalam in less time.
There is car parking where you can park your car. We parked our car and walked inside. Parking cost is Rs 20 for four wheelers.

  Kovalam is a beautiful compact crescent shaped beach.Three parts of the beach are Lighthouse beach, Eve's beach and Samudra beach. These three beaches form the entire crescent Kovalam beach.

   After this huge meal, we headed back to our room and crashed for the day.

  Our plan for the next day was to cover the sight seeing places in the city and  spend the sunset hours at Kovalam beach.

  So after breakfast, we headed for Shanghumugham beach. Since the daytime temperature in Trivandrum rises very fast, we thought of covering this beach first. This beach is within 6 KM from city center. It's very close to the airport. It's a nice long beach. During that early morning hour, we found it very less crowded.
