Veli Beach

Veli Beach is a popular coastal destination where the serene Veli Lake meets the vast Arabian Sea. This scenic beach is part of the larger Veli Tourist Village, a family-friendly spot that offers a mix of natural beauty and recreational activities. The tranquil setting, with its golden sands and gentle waves, makes it an ideal location for a relaxing day by the sea.

One of the unique attractions at Veli Beach is the boating facility on Veli Lake, where visitors can enjoy pedal boats, speedboats, and rowboats while surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful backwaters. A floating bridge connects the lake to the beach, creating a distinctive experience as you walk from the calm inland waters to the open sea. The area also features well-maintained gardens, artistic sculptures, and shaded paths for leisurely walks.

Veli Beach is especially popular among families and tourists looking to escape the bustle of the city. It’s easily accessible from Trivandrum city and the nearby airport. Sunset views over the Arabian Sea are a major draw, casting warm hues over the water and creating a peaceful ambiance ideal for photography and evening picnics.
