Cherai Beach
Cherai Beach is a pristine stretch of golden sand located at the northern end of Vypin Island in Kochi. It is unique because it is flanked by the Arabian Sea on one side and the tranquil Kochi Backwaters on the other. Spanning over 10 KMS, it is often called the "Princess of the Arabian Sea." The b each is famous for its cleanliness and shallow waters, making it one of the safest spots for swimming and sunbathing in Kerala. The shoreline is lined with picturesque coconut groves and several resorts. Unlike the busier beaches of Fort Kochi, Cherai offers a more relaxed and secluded atmosphere. It is a common sight to see dolphins frolicking in the water near the shore. The newly renovated walkway, lined with street lamps, provides a perfect setting for an evening stroll. The beach is a hub for seafood lovers, with many shacks serving fresh catches like prawns, crabs, and fish curry. It is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the dual beauty of the sea and the backwaters in a single location.
