Valiyazheekkal Beach and Bridge

Valiyazheekkal is a striking coastal destination at the southern edge of Alappuzha district, where the Arabian Sea, Kayamkulam Kayal and an estuarine crossing come together. Kerala Tourism describes Valiyazheekkal Bridge as connecting the Arattupuzha side of Alappuzha with Alappad in Kollam and notes that the bridge runs parallel to the sea and Kayamkulam Kayal, offering views of both. The area is also associated with the Valiyazheekkal lighthouse, a prominent modern landmark on this coastal stretch.

Visitors come for the layered landscape: beach, backwater, bridge and lighthouse can all be appreciated within the same broader setting. Traffic and weather conditions should be considered when stopping for views, and visitors should use designated safe areas rather than treating the bridge carriageway as a sightseeing platform. The destination works especially well for photography and for travellers exploring the quieter Arattupuzha coast beyond central Alappuzha.
