Kollam Beach

Kollam Beach is a prominent urban beach on the Arabian Sea coast of Kollam, Kerala, offering an easy seaside break close to the city centre. The beachfront is closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi Park, a landscaped public space that adds walking areas and family recreation to the natural shoreline. Kollam has a long history as a port and trading centre, so the beach also sits within a broader coastal landscape that includes Thangassery Lighthouse, old maritime heritage and the entrance to the Ashtamudi backwaters.

Visitors commonly come for sunset views, sea air, photography and relaxed evening walks rather than for a remote-beach experience. The location is particularly convenient for travellers with limited time because it can be combined with other Kollam city attractions in a single outing. Sea conditions on Kerala’s coast can change quickly, so swimming should only be considered where and when local safety guidance permits.

Kollam Beach remains one of the city’s most familiar public tourism spaces.
