Historical Significance

Kovalam's history is intertwined with the maritime trade routes of ancient Kerala. The region has played a significant role in the spice trade, attracting traders from across the world. While Kovalam itself doesn't have a rich historical past compared to other parts of Kerala, it has become a significant tourist destination in the last few decades.

The Lighthouse, built in the 19th century, is a landmark of the area, offering panoramic views of the coastline. It has been a vital navigation aid for ships sailing along the coast. The lighthouse remains a significant symbol of Kovalam and its historical connection to the maritime world.

The development of Kovalam as a tourist destination began in the 1960s, mainly due to the popularity of the beach among hippies and backpackers. Today, it has evolved into a well-established tourist destination attracting visitors from all over the world.
