Marari Beach
മാരാരി ബീച്ച്
A beach in a fishing village north of Alappuzha, with coconut groves, wooden boats and quiet resorts. A good place to unwind after a houseboat trip.
Marari Beach lies about 11 km north of Alappuzha, in the fishing village of Marari Kulam. The beach is wide and clean, with few tourists. Early in the morning you can watch fishermen push traditional wooden boats out to sea and sort their catch on the sand. Hidden along the coast are several eco-resorts and Ayurvedic wellness centres, which are ideal for a night or two of relaxation after a houseboat trip. The waves can be large at times, so take care when swimming.
From Kochi, the drive takes about 1.5 hours. From Alappuzha, it is about 30 minutes by tuk-tuk.
