There is nothing like spending time on the shores of a beautiful beach sipping coconut water and watching the sunset. My day at Cherai Beach Kochi was one such rejuvenating experience. Just 25 km outside the city, this beach is located on the north of the Vypeen Island. The cool breeze passes and tells me I am going to have one soothing day here.
I reached the beach at a perfect time when I could actually sit and watch the sun take a dip in water. I started walking on the sandy beach after removing my shoes and going barefoot. The amazing scenery complemented by the coconut trees countless in number and stretches of the paddy fields .The view of the perfect amalgam of sea and backwaters having numerous different shaped sea shells.
Some of the added attractions are the Chinese fishing nets on the waterfront. The cleanliness of the beach was commendable and it was very well maintained. I stretched my back on comfortable armchair with an umbrella shelter after renting it from a local guy. I ordered a pina colada mocktail and sat watching the horizon for a while. It is surely is a salvation for people who spend most of the time in the noisy and busy atmosphere of the city life. Fortunately during my visit, the beach was not too crowded and I could actually feel serenity just by looking at the scenic beauty of the endless beach. There was a street behind the beach with a lot of Indian and Chinese restaurants I am not really a person who takes pleasure in swimming but I loved dipping my feet in the cool water while I kept walking ahead.
The horizon at the eternal distance felt like an echo of every beautiful thought that ever crossed my mind. I recommend every tourist who visits Kochi and is looking for a way out of all the mayhem of a busy life, to visit the Cherai Beach Kochi and specifically spend your time here watching the sunset. There was my final stop Chikurin JI temple left to visit now.
