Kovalam Lighthouse, officially known as Vizhinjam Lighthouse, is one of the most iconic landmarks along Kerala’s coastline. Standing tall on a rocky hill near Lighthouse Beach, this red-and-white striped tower offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the crescent-shaped Kovalam shoreline. The lighthouse adds a charming visual appeal to the beach and is a must-visit attraction for tourists.

Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse to enjoy spectacular views of the sea, palm-lined coast, and surrounding fishing villages. The cool sea breeze and scenic sunset views from the top make it a perfect spot for photography and peaceful moments.
