Puthuvaipu- Puthuvype -the beautiful picnic spot in the proximity of Kochi.



Though located in Kochi suburbs, the beach at Puthuvype is a less visited one. 
The placid sea, the green terrain at the beach and the lone tree standing in the foreshore make the unexplored beach picture perfect.

The lawn seems like a green carpet that the sea has spread by its side for kids who run around the tree.

Its proximity to the city of Kochi, makes Puthuvype an easy picnic spot. Half an hour drive from the city will take you to the beach. 

While a stretch of pine trees separate the beach from the shallow ditches in the north, the huge fence of the LNG terminal is its southern boundary.

It is advisable not to roam about in the beach after twilight, since the lighting facilities are inadequate. 

The green lawn is not marshy and is ideal for playing beach games. Natives assure that bathing is comparatively safe at Puthuvype beach. 

The light house tower is yet another attraction. When built, it was one of the tallest lighthouses in Asia. Entry tickets are issued from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The tower is open on all days. 

The view from the top of the light house is marvelous. Under a clear sky, it provides a panoramic glimpse of the city beneath. The powerful beacon light emitted is considered to be equivalent to the glare of forty lakh lighted candles. 

The first Oceanarium of the country is all set to be built at the entrance portion of the beach. 

The beach being a quiet one, it is desirable to stock eatables and drinking water well in advance. Shops are found at the Puthuvype main junction.

How to reach there 

The Puthuvype light house is placed in the bus-route from Ernakulam to Njarackal. The beach is only five hundred meters away from the light house.
