2. Kovalam Beach
There is no doubt that Kovalam is certainly the heaven of south Kerala. This tropical Eden garden was discovered just 3 decades ago by the hippies and within a very short period of time it became famous worldwide.
Blessed with various natural resources, this little tropical land is best known for its clean beaches, Ayurvedic and Spa resorts and local coconut beer Toddy. Though Kovalam attracts thousands of visitors every year, still this place is not jam packed and offer a restful environment to spent relaxing vacation days.
3. Gokarna
Gokarna in Karnataka is situated 190 kilometres south of Goa and makes for a wonderful change from Goa's fast pace! Famous for the Mahabaleshwar temple and its pristine beaches, in this tranquil town, you can enjoy a day basking in the sun or laying in a hammock reading a book without distractions.
Gokarna is well-connected to major cities through buses and trains and the closest airport is Dabolim Airport in Goa. Though an important pilgrimage site, Gokarna blends religion with beach fun. Om Beach, Paradise Beach and Half-Moon Beach are the famous ones, which have both fine sand and rocky coasts mostly untouched by commercial activities.
