Located near the heritage city of Thiruvananthapuram, Kovalam is an amazing beach attracting tourists from the different parts of the world. This amazing beach is located at a distance of sixteen km from this wonderful city. The groves of coconuts are amazing and they wave because of the strong winds flowing in the region. Famous for the beautiful resorts with the lush ayurveda facilities and the sea adventure, Kovalam has attained the status of global destination. The three prime beaches in Kovalam are Lighthouse beach, Samudra beach and Hawa beach. Kovalam is the first beach spot in India where topless bathing started but in the present times, this activity is stopped.
