Once of the best views from a light house i have ever been to. The climb is also made easy with elevator taking you to 80% uphill and from then its a quck 10 steps to some breath taking views of Kovalam beach and the up coming harbour. If weather permits you will have the day of your life here ������

Perched on a mountain, Vizhinjam lighthouse is the highest lighthouse in Kovalam that offers the spellbinding view of the sea. It is because if this place that the nearby beach was started knowing as the Lighthouse beach. The lighthouse is 35 m tall, and from its highets point one can see the stunning view of the sea. GETTING THERE Vizhinjam Lighthouse happens to be the largest lighthouse in Kerala. Perched atop the green dressed Kurumkal hill, approaching it is not at all a problem. One can take a bus, auto rickshaw or car from anywhere in the city to reach the lighthouse

Such a great view from the top

Nice light house, sunset and sea seeing light house.The lighthouse, which is now equipped with modern technology, is under the control of the Central Government. Light flashing is done here using a metal allied lighting system and an optical lens. The world famous Kovalam beaches such as Lighthouse Beach, Eve Beach and Samudra Beach are located close to the lighthouse. This is a place where you can watch the waves of the sea and the sunrises.

It was a beautiful experience. One could use the tile-paved stairs or the newly installed lifts, to go up. Though the aesthetic beauty of inside the lighthouse has been diminished by the lifts, the ravishing beauty of the outside view is untouched ������. The cool breeze once we reach the top and the mesmerizing 360 degree views, would take anyone's breath away. The ticket price for an adult is 20 rs, and an extra 10 rs is charged for keeping the footwear and/or bags, which is a compulsory thing (you can't wear footwear inside the lighthouse).
