Beaches are the most important tourist attraction in Kerala. Though Kovalam is the most popular beach in Kerala. There are many other beaches which are almost as good. The long coastline lined with the swaying coconut palm trees and dotted with an occasional fishing hamlet is fast developing into one of the world's best string of beaches. Though infrastructure is yet to come up in many of the beaches, the advantages in those beaches are many, the most important being, less crowded.
