Discover the Marari Beach!
Marari Beach, not far from Alleppey in Kerala, is laid back and perfect for relaxing and taking it easy. The name Marari is shortened from Mararikulam, a small and sleepy fishing village. It can easily qualify as one of the most beautiful beaches in the country with soft golden sand and tranquil waves making it an ideal spot for families with young children.
Miles of powdery white sands, boundless blue waters with flocks of sandpipers sweeping over the surf, and coconut palms skirting the shoreline, make Marari Beach a powerful sight and a destination by itself for worshippers of sun, sand and surf. A number of interesting day trips are also possible around the area. These include the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, traditional coir-making units, and the extensive backwaters for which Kerala has become famous. If you’re there during August, you can also check out the Snake Boat Races. The drive along the road to the beach also offers glimpses into the life of the local fisher folk.
The weather at Marari is warm and humid throughout the year. Rain is received from both the southwest and northeast monsoons, which produce intensely heavy downpours. The rain is at its heaviest from June to July. Heavy downpours also occur from late October to December. If you really want to have the place to yourself, late December to March is the best time when the weather is dry and sunny every day.
Marari has a couple of good resorts and a number of homestays. The closest train station to Marari is in Alleppey while the nearest airport is Cochin International Airport.
