On Vypeen Island, 25 km north of Fort Cochin, lies Cherai beach with a long stretch of lazy backwaters and quiet fishing villages to explore. You can choose to reach Cochin by road, flight or train, and from there you can head by road (you can hail a cab or take an autorickshaw or bus).
An offbeat part of the coastline, Cherai, known as the 'The Princess Of The Arabian Sea' is drawing tourists because of its untouched beauty. For those of you who love to swim, this will become your new favourite haunt with gorgeous coconut groves as backdrops. And for shutterbugs, for the wonderful view of the famous Chinese Fishing Nets. It is also a great spot to go boating to spot some magical dolphin sights. Spend time enjoying the ocean breeze and snacking on local fare and seafood. Stay at Camper By The Bay, a luxury retreat with private access to the beach.
Cherai Beach is also ideal to watch dolphins in their natural habitat, while taking a magical boat ride. The Poyil lake is great to watch the sunrise, feel free to boat around and enjoy the enchanting scenery. Religious monuments like the Varaha temple built in 1869 is famous for its artistic designs. The Pallipuram Church hosts festivals which display the culture of the area as well. If you’re looking for a laidback cafe, head to the Chillout Cafe for sandwiches, coffee and pizza. We assure you that a weekend here is enough for you to unwind to the maximum.
