Introduction

This one is a short distance from Varkala town near Kappil backwaters. Vettekkada is an isolated stretch of fine sand affording stunning sunset views. Lounge on the beach and spend indolent hours gazing at the azure slopes while soaking up the tropical sun. Capture from different perspectives the blue sea merging with a clear blue sky. Vettekkada is ideal for a leisurely saunter or a refreshing swim. Stay back till sundown to witness the water change color with the setting sun. At this hour the beach is cast in an orange glow and looks pretty as a picture. Add to it a palpable aura of desolation.
