Just 8 km from the city, this is a favourite haunt of sunset watchers. The beach
is adjacent to the Thiruvananthapuram Airport and Veli Tourist Village.
An indoor recreation club, the matsya kanyaka (a gigantic, 35 m long sculpture
of a mermaid) and a restaurant shaped like a starfish are some of the attractions
here. Chacha Nehru Traffic Training Park here provides opportunity for children
to learn the traffic rules.
