Azheekal Beach

Azheekal Beach is a scenic coastal destination in the Karunagappally region of Kollam district, Keralam, near a landscape where backwaters and the Arabian Sea come close together. DTPC Kollam highlights the area for its sandy shore, coastal engineering structures, fishing scenes and the mix of sea, small islands and mangrove environments around the estuarine zone. Traditional fishing activity, including nets and working boats, gives the destination a strong sense of place rather than the atmosphere of a commercial resort beach.

Visitors generally come for photography, sea views, sunset and a relaxed outing along the northern Kollam coast. The changing meeting of river, backwater and sea also makes the wider area interesting for nature observation. Water conditions can be unpredictable near estuaries and groynes, so visitors should treat the beach primarily as a sightseeing location unless local guidance confirms safe bathing conditions.

Azheekal can be paired with nearby Karunagappally, Alumkadavu and other northern Kollam backwater stops for a varied coastal day trip.
