Also known as Alleppey, this is truly aone-of-a-kind beach because of its pristine beauty, coconut palms and sparkling rivers. Here one gets to see beautiful, vast expanse of sands and turquoise blue water of the Arabian Sea.<br />The picturesque region of Alappuzha lies between the Arabian Sea and an intricate network of blue lakes, greenish backwaters and freshwater rivers. Alappuzha or Alleppey beach which encompasses the shoreline of Arabian Sea is a mesmerizing place with scarlet sunsets and silver stretches of sand edged by swaying palm trees. To walk on the beach under the shadow of palm trees with a cold breeze blowing continuously is a delightful experience. When you visit this beach while the sun is setting behind the horizon of azure waters, you will be entranced to see the display of wide array of colors reflected in the sea-water.<br />The tinges of green and blue also reflect themselves in the glistening backwaters, for which Alappuzha is famous. After spending your time near the sloshing sea, you can treat yourself to an unforgettable, romantic boat ride onthe emerald backwaters at dusk.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1831457401294217044-6020456842118354168?l=beaches-in-kerala.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3sSs8JMTy32ph7upMbVIR6HkYHU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3sSs8JMTy32ph7upMbVIR6HkYHU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3sSs8JMTy32ph7upMbVIR6HkYHU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3sSs8JMTy32ph7upMbVIR6HkYHU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BeachesInKerala/~4/5s24YRQnT0c" height="1" width="1"/>Blog Professionalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03035652054743487364noreply@blogger.com0http://beaches-in-kerala.blogspot.com/2009/05/alappuzha-beach.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831457401294217044.post-66527279593883208562009-05-16T04:40:00.000-07:002009-05-16T04:42:28.323-07:002009-05-16T04:42:28.323-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_amiQ5W62Pp0/Sg6mdJJ7QRI/AAAAAAAAH4c/aRQ-N5fsf9w/s1600-h/alappuzha+houseboat5+c.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336385628084584722" style="DISPLAY: block;
