Varkala Beach is known for its scenic views, clear blue waters, and fun activities. Start your day early with some sunrise yoga classes on the beach to get energized. Afterward, rent some surfboards and try your skills at surfing or boogie boarding. For those who don't want to get wet, you can explore the nearby shops and restaurants. In the evening, enjoy a beach bonfire party with music, drinks, and food.
Relax and rejuvenate at a traditional Ayurvedic spa. Get massaged with herbal oils and soak in medicinal baths. This will leave you feeling refreshed and energized. Afterwards, head to a local restaurant to indulge in some authentic Kerala cuisine such as dosa, idli, sambar, and fish curry. One of the best places to try this is at the Cafe del Mar restaurant, known for its delicious food and music. End your night with some dancing and drinks at the Sky Lounge.
If you have more time, you can explore the nearby Golden Island or take a boat tour of the backwaters. For those with less time, you can skip the Ayurvedic spa and head straight to lunch. If you're feeling adventurous, you can go cliff jumping at the nearby Moonstone beach or try a paragliding session.
