Marari Beach

The long straight ribbon of sand that forms Marari Beach is backed by palms and slopes gently into Kerala’s Arabian Sea waters. While just 11 km from Alleppey (Alappuzha), it is little known. Busiest on weekends and holidays, it remains largely undeveloped. As a result, its facilities are limited, although both sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented here.

The large waves make swimming off Marari Beach a hazard, and this stretch of the Kerala coast is therefore best enjoyed as somewhere to relax on the sands with a book. You might also want to note that some women have reported feeling uncomfortable in swimwear on Marari Beach.
