    Rollin' with the waves
    Cherai beach has a shallower shoreline.
    I love it for its "rolling with the waves " experience, even without knowing how to swim. With the water level up to my shoulder and my feet still firm on the ground, I can feel the formation of the tide and of course the pink sunset. It's like being part of the entire life cycle of a wave.

    "nice beach, not crowded"
    I Prefer Puthuvype Beach to Fort Kochi beach because it is easily accessible from high court junction. The drive from there to the beach takes about 15 minutes for crossing the Goshree bridges and on the way we can see Bolghatty Island, Vypin fishing harbor, Vallarpadom Container Terminal etc. The beach is not very crowded even on holidays and I like to watch the sunset from here. The Puthuvype (Vypin) Light House, Kuzhipilly beach etc are nearby attractions. Nice beach to spend some time on off days.

    Crowded
    An okayish beach. Cannot get into the water as it is separated by the rocks. Very crowded. We saw a beautiful sunset.

    Peaceful beach
    This one is a less touristy and less crowded beach than the famous Cherai one. And that is probably its biggest blessing. We witness a peaceful sunset on a Saturday evening. There was hardly any crowd. Only handful food stalls available selling good tea and pazham pori (banana fritters) or fish fritters.

    Lucky to spot dolphins
    Yes!!!We spotted dolphins at this place.
    We visited this beach as puzhuvype beach was crowded at around 6p.m in the first week of June. It was drizzling so we sat down to relax. Suddenly we could spot dolphins at the surface very close to the beach.
    When asked locals, we got to know that dolphins are often seen here when it rains.
    It was a wonderful experience. :D

    City coastline with promenade and beach at low tide
    There is a stretch of sandy beach here when the tide is low, but otherwise the sea reaches the promenade. Fishermen move into the water to put their nets into the side current. Sometimes they land their boats here.

    The view across the estuary is interesting as big containerships , but also smaller vessels sail by to reach the sea or the docks of Ernakulam. Most of the time there are tourists walking on the promenade (mind your step) and hawkers selling stuff.

    The city authorities do make an effort to keep the area clean. Early mornings workers are collecting garbage. Morning time is also the best time to visit. The earlier, the more quiet and peaceful.
