ποΈ Best Beaches in Kollam
Kollam Beach (Town Beach)
The main beach right in the heart of the city. Famous for spectacular sunsets, colourful fishing boats and the historic Tangasseri Lighthouse nearby. Evening walks and local snacks make this a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.
Thirumullavaram Beach
One of the cleanest and most serene beaches in Kerala, just 6 km from Kollam town. Crystal-clear waters, red cliffs, and shade-giving coconut palms make it ideal for swimming and photography. Almost always blissfully uncrowded.
Thangassery Beach & Lighthouse
Home to the 144-year-old Portuguese-era Thangassery Lighthouse. The beach here has unique orange-red laterite rock formations, old Portuguese and Dutch fort ruins, and excellent views from atop the lighthouse tower.
Neendakara Beach
A vibrant fishing harbour beach where you can watch the largest fishing fleet in Kerala set sail at dawn. The beach is alive with activity β trawlers, fishermen mending nets, and the smell of fresh catch. A very authentic Kerala coastal experience.
