HOME DESTINATIONS Alleppey
Marari Beach
One of the calmest beaches in India, Marari Beach sees fewer tourists than most other commercial beaches, and is one of the best places on the west coast to view a spectacular sunrise and sunset.
Now oft preferred as a destination in competition to the popular Kovalam beach of Kerala, Marari Beach was rated as one of the world’s top five HAMMOCK BEACH by National Geographic survey. Marari originates from 'Mararikulum', a local fishing village on the Arabian Sea coast. The serenity and tranquility of this beach take beach lovers backwards in time. The slow pace of local life makes the Marari beach a reviving experience. If you love adventure sports, try your hand at sea surfing, parasailing, water skiing, and deep-sea fishing.
