How To Reach Vypeen Island
Ernakulam, Kerala, India
Vypeen Island is one of the most popular and scenic islands in the Kochi archipelago. It is a long, narrow strip of land that acts as a barrier between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters. Historically, the island was formed after the great floods of 1341, and it has since evolved into a bustling su burb that retains its rustic coastal charm. The island is famous for its pristine beaches, particularly Cherai Beach, which is known for its golden sands and the unique sight of the sea and backwaters separated by just a narrow road. Vypeen is also home to the Azhikotta Fort (Pallipuram Fort), one of the oldest European forts in India, built by the Portuguese in 1503. Another iconic landmark is the Kochi Lighthouse at Puthuvype, which offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the coastline. The island's culture is deeply rooted in fishing; you can see vast expanses of Chinese fishing nets and local fishermen in traditional "vallams" (boats). The island is connected to the mainland of Ernakulam by the magnificent Goshree Bridges, which offer a stunning drive over the backwaters. For foodies, Vypeen is a dream, offering some of the best traditional Kerala seafood in local toddy shops and beachside shacks. The vibe here is significantly calmer than the main city, making it a favorite spot for weekend getaways. Whether you want to sunbathe, explore colonial ruins, or watch dolphins in the sea, Vypeen offers a diverse range of experiences for every traveler.
