Kollam Beach

Located in the South of Kerala, Kollam Beach is one of the most popular beaches in the area. This is particularly true of courting couples who flock here to get married.

The (sporadically) well-matained beach is one of the few in Kerala to have a permanent lifeguard, although quite a few people have said they are just there to prevent people swimming!

It is an attractive beach and features a good-sized stretch of golden sand. It tends to be quite busy at weekends and is also well-known for its lively nightlife. There are plenty of facilities here, including an aquarium.

Behind the beach is the small but pleasant Mahatma Gandhi Park.
