About 20 km away from the Ernakulam industrial area, on the Vypeen side of the island is Cherai Beach, a swimmer’s paradise. With coconut groves as a backdrop, it is a popular spot for those who want to relax and swim. It offers great views of the famous Chinese fishing nets and his Cheena Vala fountain. A nearby hut serves fresh food and will fill you up after a great swim. The shells found here are unique and dolphins are a common sight in the area. An ideal combination of backwaters and sea. The area itself has seen the emergence of many new resorts and hotels, facilitating increased tourism activity. Today, he is one of Kerala’s most visited beaches, and once there, it’s almost impossible to tear yourself away.
