About Poovar

Poovar is one natural wonder where the Lake, River and Sea  meet the land. A rare find in Trivandrum, Kerala.

Poovar is unspoilt and unexplored, enveloped by the most serene backwaters, and opening out to the sea and a dream golden sand beach.

Poovar Beach, near the Kovalam Beach, separates the River Neyyar from the sea. Poovar is basically a fishing village and the only way to reach Poovar is through water. Beach activities and water sports are not developed in this beach because of the fishing population.

Time stopped a few decades ago bowing to the sheer beauty of Poovar. The tranquility of Poovar is punctuated by the sound of waves and the birds. The area is abundant in well-preserved local flora, with hundreds of species of spices, exotic flowers, complete with banana and coconut groves.


The Poovar beach separates the river from the sea and is quite breathtaking. Because of the active fishing population the beach is not really used as a sunbathing spot or for swimming as the currents are quite strong..


How to reach??
45 minutes from either the Thiruvananthapuram (Domestic/International) Airport or Trivandrum Central Railway Station.
