Nearby Attractions:
Vizhinjam is 2 km. away from Kovalam. Europeans, Portuguese and
Dutch had commercial ties with the local kings during the
pre-colonial days. Ruins of rock-cut temples have been found,
substantiating the port town's centuries-old heritage.
Today, it
offers nothing but a slice of Kerala's coastal life: fishing
boats jostling for space; wiry fishermen hastily repairing
fishing net. Petty altercations among fishermen over the price
of days catch perfectly blends with rumblings of bellowing
waves. Come dusk, shore would be reverberating with the heehaw
of fishermen pushing fishing boats to the sea.
