Kovalam, a renowned beach town in the southern Indian state of Kerala, is a popular destination for travelers seeking sun, sand, and relaxation. Located approximately 13 to 16 km southeast of Thiruvananthapuram, the state capital, Kovalam translates to "coconut grove," a fitting name given the abundance of coconut trees lining its shores. The town is famous for its three picturesque crescent-shaped beaches, separated by rocky outcroppings: Lighthouse Beach, Hawa Beach (also known as Eve's Beach), and Samudra Beach.
