A sunrise over the horizon turning the sea into molten gold. The crashing surf streaming up the sand and then receding again, leaving behind sea shells and driftwood. The swaying fringed shadow of the palms. On the eastern and western coasts of Kerala, endless beaches offer you a balmy holiday. The Konkan coast in the west has the beaches of Goa and Diu. Go southwards to the white sands of Kovalam on the Malabar coast. On the Coromandel coast in the east are the rock cut temples by the sea at Mamallpuram. These breathtaking beaches promise the perfect escape to tranquility.
