Alappuzha Beach
Alappuzha Beach, in Alappuzha (also known as Alleppey), Kerala, is a popular picnic spot on the Arabian Sea coast. Its palm-fringed shoreline and golden sands draw visitors for beach walks and sunset views. The historic Alappuzha Pier extends into the sea; Kerala Tourism describes it as over 140 years old. The nearby lighthouse is another landmark associated with the town's maritime history.
Vijaya Beach Park is a family-friendly attraction near the beach, with a children's play area, toy train, bikes, and boating facilities. Kerala Tourism lists the New Year celebration, Sand Art Fest, and Beach Fest among the events associated with the beach. You can stroll along the shore, visit the pier, or enjoy the sea views.
Alappuzha is also known for its houseboat cruises through a network of canals, rivers, lakes, and inlets, fringed by coconut palms, paddy fields, and villages. A visit to the beach can be paired with a backwater cruise, making it a worthwhile stop for travelers exploring Kerala's coastal town of Alleppey.
