A cool place to hangout in the evening watching sunset, doing some street shopping and having few beers.
The beach is the center of activities at Fort Kochi and rightfully so. There are plenty of options to entertain yourself as the area is covered in colonial buildings.
During the day time, it can get pretty warm but at night it is much cooler and the lighted up premises gives a romantic vibe. I am not very sure if its alright to swim in the beach here, but you can certainly explore the Chinese Fishing Nets, have a stroll in the sand and may be play some volleyball with the locals in the sand.Comments
