poovar beach
12 km south of Kovalam, ThiruvananthapuramAbout
The clean and relatively unexplored beach with serene backwaters is the highlight of the town.Located at the mouth of the Neyyar River, the village is home to a fishing community. It is a great destination for tourists to learn about the local culture while spending their days leisurely in the beautiful natural surroundings.The most popular place to visit is the Poovar Beach which separates the sea from the Neyyar River. With very few tourists present, it is an excellent place for those who long for solitude. Beach activities and water sports are not available on the beach due to fishing population. One can go on a cruise to a neighboring village from Poovar.
