Bordering the Vypeen island off Cochin is the lovely beach of Cherai. It is located about 25 kilometers away from Kochi and about 30 kilometers from Kochi International Airport at Nedumbassery.

This beach is a popular tourist destination especially among the foreigners. The beach is less busy and cleaner as compared to many other beaches in Ernakulam district. Cherai beach is lined with Chinese fishing nets, coconut groves and paddy fields offering the perfect setting.


With the unique combination of the sea and the backwaters and also the sands filled with seashells of various colours, Cherai Beach is a picturesque destination. If lucky, you could spot a few Dolphins as well.
