Puthuvype Beach

Puthuvype Beach is situated on Vypeen Island in Kochi, Ernakulam district, Kerala, only a short distance across the harbour area from the city. Kerala Tourism has highlighted the beach as an adventure-tourism location and notes its broader, shallower coastal stretch compared with some nearby beaches. The shoreline gives visitors open Arabian Sea views and opportunities to watch ships moving through the Kochi harbour approaches.

A major landmark in the Puthuvype area is the lighthouse, which Kerala Tourism identifies as one of Vypeen Island’s notable visitor attractions and a viewpoint over the surrounding landscape. The destination works well for evening walks, sunsets, photography and a quick coastal break for travellers staying in Kochi. Because the area combines an active maritime setting with an open public beach, visitors should pay attention to local safety notices, weather and sea conditions.

Puthuvype can also be included in a larger Vypeen Island trip with nearby heritage and beach stops.
