While traveling from Trivandrum to Irinjalakuda, we decided to take the scenic route along NH66 after turning off at Alappuzha Bypass. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey, especially when we stumbled upon Ottamassery Beach near Ernakulam. This hidden gem felt like our own private paradise, with only a few fishermen and ourselves on the beach. The abandoned boats added to the charm of the pristine white sand, which was incredibly soft. The calm waters made for a relaxing stroll along the shore, almost dipping our toes in the water. A definite must-visit for beach lovers.
This beach is stunning, featuring clear waters and a spacious shoreline. Nearby, there's a restaurant and a resort. Children often play football on the shore, but it's recommended not to play in the water.
This has become my favorite spot lately. It's free from crowds and litter, offering a pristine beach and a vibrant view of boats. A delightful stroll along the sea wall is sure to brighten your day. The sea wall walk is accessible to everyone, but be cautious as the path is uneven to avoid any injuries.
This is one of the better beaches near Cherthala town. It's relatively easy to get to since the traffic on this route isn't too heavy. The only drawback is having to cross a Railway Level Crossing Gate, which, if you're unlucky, could cause you to miss the sunset. I visited on December 31, 2023, for the sunset and was fortunate that the gate was open, allowing me to arrive before the sun went down.
