Hidden Gems

Beyond the busy main beaches of Kovalam, these locations highlight the area's natural geology and local craftsmanship. The coastal edge features large granite rock formations at Boulders and elevated vantage points for viewing the Vizhinjam Lighthouse. Inland, a former stone quarry has transformed into a deep rainwater pond. The artisan scene is represented by specialized workshops offering custom-made leather footwear, traditional wooden handicrafts, and ethnic Indian textiles.
