Alappuzha Beach, also known as Alleppey Beach is a serene and pristine beach known for its stunning sunsets and serene beauty. Enjoy a romantic stroll along the beach, relax amidst the cool sea breeze or enjoy a fun-filled day playing water sports like surfing, parasailing and speed boating. There are also several eateries serving scrumptious seafood and South Indian cuisine.
Watch the mesmerizing sunsets from the top of the 150-year-old Alappuzha Lighthouse. The lighthouse tower offers a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea and the quaint town of Alappuzha, making it one of the most romantic spots in the town.
Experience the romance of Alleppey's lifeblood, the Kerala Backwaters, with a scenic houseboat ride. Enjoy a luxurious overnight stay on a fully-furnished houseboat and witness the vast stretches of palm-fringed backwaters, quaint villages, and vast expanses of paddy fields, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Step back in time and witness the grandeur of the Travancore era at the Krishnapuram Palace. The palace, built in the 18th century, features traditional Kerala-style architecture, murals, and artifacts. The palace also houses the largest mural painting in Kerala, "Gajendra Moksham."
For those with more time, the Marari Beach, Pathiramanal Island, and the Punnamada Lake are other notable attractions to visit. For those with less time, it is recommended to skip the Krishnapuram Palace and add the St. Andrew's Basilica or the Ambalappuzha Sri Krishna Temple instead. While exploring Alappuzha, wear comfortable footwear and stay hydrated as the climate can be humid. Lastly, do not forget to try the delectable seafood and coconut-based cuisine while enjoying the beauty of Alleppey.
