The seafront walkway beside the Chinese fishing nets, and a Cochin Carnival venue.
Square
The seafront walkway along Fort Kochi Beach, beside the Chinese fishing nets. Nearby stalls can cook fish bought from local fishermen, and the square becomes one of the main Cochin Carnival venues in late December. It is a good place to see the harbour edge, but expect crowds during festivals.
