Surrounded by the more famous beaches of Kovalam and Varkala, Alleppey beach is surprisingly solitary. At a drive of around 30 minutes from the town’s centre, it is a beach bum’s dream come true. A perfect place to watch a sunset, Alleppey beach also has a lighthouse for that bird’s eye view. Remains of a 137 year old bridge still stand at the beach, reminders of the more glorious days of Alleppey, when it was a major sea port of Kerala. Half in shambles, this now corroded sea bridge looks quite haunting and calls for a few photographs in the least.
