A road trip to Chavakkad Beach in Kerala is something that you can take if you are looking to escape the city and channel your beach bum minus the touristy feel. In your quest to find the best beaches in Kerala, Chavakkad Beach is a worthy contender that you need to consider. It's a 10-hour road trip from Bangalore that you can take with the squad or on your bike solo with the promise of a beautiful, serene, and untouched sandy beach upon arrival. And that's the best thing because even though Chavakkad Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Kerala, it's still not commercial or touristy like Kovalam or Cherai.
Azhimukam (Malayalam for estuary) is what makes this beach so popular in Kerala because it's one of those beaches where the river and sea meet. It paints a rather beautiful picture, especially in the mornings when fishermen take their boats out for their daily catch. Swimming is permitted here and we recommend being a bit conservative in your swimwear only because it's not as touristy as the other beaches. Even though there aren't hoards of people around even during weekends, it can get crowded during holidays and peak season. Come evenings, don't miss the sunset.
