My Experience at the Kovalam beaches

Kovalam beaches - heaven indeed

Sea beaches , sand and coconut trees – the best attributes you can get for a calm and cold environment.

I visited my best beach at the age of 10 – The Kovalams or better known as 4-beaches. Yes, Kovalam is famous for its four outstanding beaches one beside the other.

Enjoying the bite on a juicy pineapple I just strolled out in the open sand. Endless sea indeed – only two huge rocks blocked its infinity on the sides. The sun blazed high. I wetted my feet in the cold blue and felt it sipping in the sand. . Something tickled – I looked down to see strange white creatures … not crabs but bugs – smoothly slipping down my feet and disappearing in the sand.

Dad started capturing the moments in the camera while Mom just enjoyed the shade of our rented standing umbrella.

Kids are best when they are up to no good :P ……. Well I was not a bad kid myself. Still remember those funny moments when I threw the wet sand balls at my Dad and saw him throw them back at me… that was fun indeed.

Before we enjoyed the shrimps for lunch , Dad and I went swimming – Mom decided to stay dry. Huge waves (bigger than the ones I saw at Puri) really made it difficult for me to paddle. I just held on to Dad’s hand and enjoyed the splashes. Really cool !!!

But an incident still pinches at the corner of my mind  – A giant wave crashed on me and I almost drowned … All I remember is me searching for air within the glittering water … I was closing my eyes gradually when I saw a hand heading towards me … Holding on to it is the reason why I am still here documenting it to you. My dad pulled me up from the clutches of the nightmare. I soon panted off my pain – I don’t take much time to recover … The best part – I ain’t Hydrophobic :)

After lunch we went on trekking. Well !!! not a mountain but a hill … A forest of Coconuts … Amazing !!! Reaching its peak is the best way you can see the four sandy(s) … the entire Kovalam …… Picturesque !!!

Before leaving - parents thought of sipping in a little coffee. They were enjoying their drink when it started to drizzle (rain). The soft splashes along with the cold wind could not hold me back in the shade. I just ran till I felt the soft touch of the waves wetting my feet. The scenario still peeps in my mind … A never ending brine forming millions of ripples with the soft shower – The setting sun painting its rays on me while a grey cloudy sky bordered its (Sun) edge. The darkness drew in fainting away the light to welcome the approaching evening.
