DISTRICT
The Cheria Beach: (45 km form Ernakulam city)
This
lovely beach lordering Bypeen island is ideal for swimming. Dolphins are occasionally
seen here. A typical Kerala village with paddy fields and coconut groves nearby
is an added attraction.
The Fort Kochi Beach: (12 km from Ernakulam city)
A leisurely walk through the lanes of the city is the best way to discover historic
Fort Kochi. An obscure fishing village that became the first European township
in India, Kochi has an eventful and colorful history. The town was shaped by
the Portuguese, the Dutch and later the British. The result of these cultural
interfaces are seen in the remains of the Indo European architecture here.
