Poovar Beach
Nestled at the southern tip of Thiruvananthapuram district, Poovar is a picturesque destination that seamlessly blends beach, backwaters, and boating experiences. Located about 35 km from Thiruvananthapuram, Poovar is where the Neyyar River meets the Arabian Sea, creating a stunning estuary, especially during the monsoon when the river carries sand, mud, and mineral deposits to the area.
Poovar is renowned for its serene backwaters, dotted with lush mangroves and rich in diverse flora and fauna. The backwaters offer a tranquil cruising experience, allowing visitors to witness the vibrant life of a coastal village and spot various bird species like the Kingfisher, Brahminy Kite, Night Heron, Sea Egret, Black Darter, and Indian Cormorant eagle. The local fishing community, with its unique customs and traditions, adds a cultural charm to the area.
The Poovar Beach, with its golden sands, is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful retreat for travelers. Accessible only by boat, the beach remains uncrowded, making it an ideal spot to relax and soak in the serene environment. Visitors can enjoy mesmerizing views of the sunrise and sunset while taking a stroll along the golden sands.
In Poovar, you also get a chance to experience the breathtaking confluence of the Poovar Lake, Neyyar River, Arabian Sea, and the Gold sand beach. The area is home to some of the best picnic spots, and the scenic views make it a must-visit destination. Nearby attractions include the Azhimala Siva Temple, Vizhinjam Harbour, and the famous Kovalam Beach.
