Tip from Trip101 local expert
Cherai Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Kerala, and it's no surprise why. Its proximity to the city of Kochi and National Highway 66 means tourists throng the beach during the weekends, especially at sunset. However, the length of the beach means that you're sure to find a secluded spot somewhere on the sands to unwind away from the crowds.
What makes Cherai unique from the other spectacular beaches in the vicinity is its gradually sloping shores. It allows you to wade out fairly far from the sands and still touch the seafloor with your feet, making it perfect for nervous swimmers and even children. The sea is relatively calm here, and the sunset is sure to stun you. Unsurprisingly, the area has many shops, few restaurants, and accommodations to serve the throng of tourists, so you're sure to find whatever it is you're craving for a beach day, be it ice cream or new swimwear.
