Why end a Kerala tour in Kovalam

Kovalam is Kerala’s best-known beach town, with three crescent beaches — Lighthouse Beach, Hawa Beach and Samudra Beach — separated by rocky headlands. It is a relaxed place to finish a Kerala tour after the hills and the Alleppey houseboat, with Ayurvedic resorts, seafood by the shore and easy day trips to Trivandrum and Kanyakumari at the southern tip of India.
