Mararikulam Beach

The ancient land founded by the legendary mythological figure Rishi Parashuram, blessed with emerald backwaters and gold and silver beaches is Kerala- God's own country. With the Arabian Sea on the west and the Western Ghats on its east, Kerala is a treasure trove of indigenous cultural practices and art forms that have mesmerized people all over the world. Be it the age old Kathakali or the newly rediscovered Mohiniattyam or the knowledge of Ayurveda. Basking in the generosity of the sun and rain the climate of Kerala supports a lush vegetation and a wide array of wildlife unlike anywhere else in the country. This miraculously unspoiled serene wilderness is all nature lovers' paradise and rapidly gaining momentum as a popular tourist hub in and around the country. The Kerala beaches on the crystal waters of the Arabian Sea are little pieces of heaven on earth. The virgin Marari beach at Mararikulam are home to the fishing communities whose lifestyle is still infused with the simplicity and rustic charm of their ancestors a century ago.

The golden sand overlooking the crystal sea and a group of coco palms dancing to the tune of sea breeze are all to keep you company at Marari beach, one of the latest addages to the list of exotic beaches in Kerala. 40 km from Cochin, Mararikulam was and still is a fishing village unexposed to the urban ways of life. The traditional fishermen customs and the simplicity of the local people are a bonus to the idyllic settings. If you are too used to the urban sheen, try out beach volleyball, parasailing, or surfing on the sapphire waters of the Arabian Sea. Make a trip to the local coir making outlets for an ethnic experience.
