1. Aazhimala Siva Temple
In the picturesque hamlet of Azhimala in Vizhinjam, there is a surreal blend of divinity and nature. While the gorgeous beach and green surroundings invite travellers, the much-respected Azhimala Shiva Temple adds a mystic touch to the place. The temple, which is perched on the cliff adjoining the sea, is an ancient one that envelops the whole region in a pious aura. The temple is noted for its 58-foot-tall statue of Lord Shiva in the Gangadhareswara form, all made of concrete. The massive structure with Shiva's hair flowing in the wind and holding Goddess Ganga has a charm of its own and lends a magnificent appeal to the temple. The sculpture was created by a 29-year-old artist, P. S. Devadathan, who is a native of Azhimala.
2. POOVAR
Enveloped in serene Kerala backwaters, flanked by the Arabian Sea on the east and the majestic towering ghats to the west, opening out to the ocean and a dream golden beach, Poovar Island Resort is a tropical paradise. Swaying coconut palms, endless golden sands, the ultramarine of the ocean, emerald backwaters, crimson sunsets, and lush green vegetation create a magical ambience around you.
3. Vizhinjam Beach
Vizhinjam Beach is located in the Thiruvananthapuram district. One of the main attractions of this beach is the rock-cut temples that were built in the 8th century. This temple has carvings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi, which are not completed. This is a fishing village and is a beautiful sight to see the fishermen engaging in various fishing methods, repairing their nets, etc. There is also a natural port here. Plans have been proposed to set up an international container port at this place. In older times, this was considered a commercial center for Europeans and other foreign countries that came for trade with India.
4. KOVALAM BEACH
It is located at a distance of 16 km from Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station and about 10 km from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. It has a long coastline with substantial palm, a lighthouse, and clear waters, which makes it the main attraction of tourists in Trivandrum.
There are three beaches separated by rocky projection in its 17 KM long coastline, known as Light House Beach, Hawah Beach, and Samudra Beach. These three beaches together make famous semi-circular Kovalam Beach.
