kovalam beach
The largest of the beaches is called Light House Beach for its 35 meter high lighthouse, which stands on the mound at the top Kurumkal. The second is Hawah Beach named for the topless European women who can sound out there. It was the first topless beach in India. [Citation needed] However, topless bathing is forbidden now, except in private coves owned by resorts. Visitors frequent these two beaches. The northern part of the beach is known as Samudra Beach in tourism parlance. A large promontory separates this part of the south shore. Samudra Beach does not have tourists thronging there or hectic business. Local fishermen ply their trade on this page. The sand on the beaches of Kovalam are partially black in color due to the presence of ilmenite and thorazite. The normal tourist season is from September to May Ashoka Beach is also part of the beach of Kovalam.
There are many resources in and around Kovalam. The port in Vizhinjam is about 3 km away and famous for its special varieties of fish, old Hindu temples, churches and a mosque. The proposed change at the International Terminal Vizhinjam is also close to Kovalam.
