Varkala Travel Guide

Most travellers spend some time at the popular Kovalam beach, south of Thiruvanathapuram.
Varkala, north of the state's capital, is less easily reachable, but always worth that extra effort. High red rocks, coconut trees,  unspoiled sea with good waves, retaurants, one holy hindubeach and that is the wonderful sight of the Arabian Sea coastline.

However, it seems to be that Varkala is turning into a new Kovalam beach. Or maybe even a new Goa! It is quite touristy these days: there is a train station and there are many hotels... Quite some female travellers feel at ease in this 'new Paradise' to such an extent that they don't take into consideration anymore the beach dresscodes in India (remember that Varkala still is a place where Indian families spend their day off). Defenetly a place worth visiting for anybody, cause everybody is there.
