Kovalam Beach

Steeped in history, this beach lies in the port town in Kovalam, initially developed by the Nawab of Carnatic, and later witnessed the ebb and flow of French and British influences.

About

Kovalam Beach, also known as Covelong Beach, stands as a coastal gem near the fishing village of Kovalam, just 40 kilometers from Chennai. What sets Kovalam apart is its distinctive rocky coastline, a rarity among Chennai's beaches. While its strong currents advise against swimming, Kovalam Beach offers a picturesque setting for various activities. The winter season, with temperatures ranging from 21 to 29 degrees Celsius, proves ideal for a visit. The beach's claim to fame lies in its spectacular sunset views, creating a sublime atmosphere for a leisurely evening stroll along the shore. Fishing enthusiasts can engage in the major activity of the area, catching their own fish and savoring the experience. Adventure seekers will find joy in water sports, particularly water surfing, with professionals available to impart their expertise.
