A sheet of silvery and curve sand is bordered on one side by azure blue water and on the other by a never-ending spread of green palm groves at Kovalam adventure destination. A high rocky promontory jutting into the sea has created a beautiful bay of calm waters for sea bathing.One can do surfing here. One can also sunbathe on the silver sands of the Kovalam beach which offers scope for beach sports as well.
