Fort Kochi Beach

Fort Kochi Beach is the waterfront of the old Fort Kochi neighbourhood of Kochi. The beach is kept clean and is used by both residents and tourists, mostly for walks beside the Arabian Sea and for watching the sun go down.

What sets it apart from other Kerala beaches is the row of Chinese fishing nets along the shore, which are thought to have arrived with Chinese traders centuries ago. St. Francis Church, counted among the oldest European churches in India, stands close to the beach.
