Thirumullavaram Beach
Kollam, Kerala, India
Thirumullavaram Beach is often cited as one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches in Kerala. Unlike the deep and sometimes dangerous waters of Kollam Beach, the sea here is shallow near the shore, making it ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The beach is secluded and surrounded by dense coconu t palms, which provide a tropical "island" feel. A unique feature of this beach is the Nyarazhcha Para (Sunday Rock), a rock formation located about 1.5 KMS into the sea, which becomes visible during low tide. The beach is also a site of great religious significance; the Mahavishnu Temple located right on the shore is ancient and draws thousands of devotees, especially during the Karkidaka Vavu ritual where people offer prayers to their ancestors. The sand here is soft and golden, and the absence of heavy commercial activity ensures the water remains clean and clear. It is a perfect spot for families with children who want to enjoy the water safely. The local government has renovated the walkway, making it an excellent place for evening exercise.
