Starting from the Lighthouse beach, the first sight that will captivate you is that of the Vizhinjam Lighthouse. Dominating the rocky promontory, the lighthouse still glows in the darkness of night at regular intervals. The light emitted by it during this time creates a magical atmosphere on the beach which you will definitely love. However, the drawback here is that you are not allowed to enter the Lighthouse itself. Quiet closeby another monument dedicated to two 15th century poets from Kovalam, Ayyippilla and Ayyanappilla Asan, is worth a visit. Kovalam tours.

The rocky promontory that divides the second and the third beach has yet another attraction for you in form of the Halcyon Castle. You can have a look at the castle that presently remains vacant due to an ongoing political tussel. .

A small mosque by the name of Kovalam Jama Masjid stands on the Ashok beach and right across, on the other side of the road, is a Ganapati Temple. You can pay a visit to both these religious places while on Kovalam beach. Kovalam tours.
