Start off your trip with a visit to the picturesque Varkala Beach, known for its stunning cliffside views and serene atmosphere. Take a leisurely stroll along the beach, take a dip in the waters or simply sit back and soak in the natural beauty.
Explore the tranquil Kappil Lake, a pristine lagoon located in the midst of lush greenery. Surrounded by coconut groves and a mangrove forest, the lake offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and a perfect spot to go kayaking or paddleboarding.
Wrap up your trip with a visit to Anjengo Fort, a historic site that dates back to the 17th century. Explore the ruins of the fort and learn about its significance in the region's maritime history. Take in the stunning views of the Arabian sea as you walk along the ramparts of the fort.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to the nearby Ponnumthuruthu Island or the stunning Kovalam Beach. For those who prefer trekking, a visit to the lesser-known Golden Island is recommended. If you have less time, you can skip Anjengo Fort and spend more time relaxing at Varkala Beach.
