Enjoy a scenic walk along the golden sands and take a dip in the Arabian Sea at Alleppey Beach. With its calm waters and gentle waves, it's perfect for a relaxing day by the beach. Visitors will find plenty of stalls selling seafood and snacks, making it a great place for a beach picnic. Don't forget to watch the sunset over the horizon before leaving!
Discover the beauty of the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, spread over 14 acres with swamps, lagoons, and forests, and home to over 180 species of birds. Visitors can go on a walking tour or a boat ride to explore the sanctuary and spot kingfishers, woodpeckers, egrets, and herons. Early morning visits are recommended to avoid the heat and get a glimpse of rare migratory birds.
If you have more time, consider taking a houseboat tour on the backwaters of Alleppey, or visiting the Revi Karunakaran Museum to learn about the history of the region. If you have less time, skip the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary and spend more time exploring Alleppey Beach or taking a canal cruise.
