Historic Pier, Golden Sands & Coastal Charm
Extending into the ocean, the iconic 140+ year-old wooden and iron pier serves as a striking reminder of Alappuzha’s rich maritime trading history during the 19th century. Standing just 250 meters from the beach, this historic red-and-white striped lighthouse built in 1862 is the oldest on India's southwest coast, offering sweeping 360-degree views of the coastline and city.Located right beside the beach, this landscaped children's park features play zones, toy trains, and recreational facilities, making the beach area popular for family outings.
The beach is famous for dramatic sunsets, where visitors gather along the shoreline and promenade to watch the sun dip behind the silhouette of the old pier.Take long strolls along the sandy stretch or enjoy water activities like kayaking, canoeing, and speedboating available near the shore. Walk up the spiral stairs of the 1862 lighthouse during open hours for panoramic aerial photography across the Arabian Sea and palm groves. Sample local street food along the promenade stalls, including spiced raw mangoes, fried seafood, fresh coconut water, and traditional Kerala dishes at nearby coastal eateries.
