Beach

Wide, clean sand on Vypin Island, under Kerala's tallest lighthouse — a red-and-white tower 46 metres high that is open to visitors. It is quieter than Fort Kochi Beach. Take the Vypeen ferry from Fort Kochi Jetty, then an auto for the last few kilometres.

    Beaches Around Fort Kochi That Most Travellers Never Find

    Fort Kochi has a beach everyone visits. But not faraway, there are shores with 500 years of stories and almost no tourists. From a beach that once held Portuguese cannons to a fishing village where nothing has changed in a century Kochi's best beaches aren't the ones on the map.
