Discover what makes this destination truly special
Hawa Beach, also known as Eve's Beach, is the second of the three famous crescent-shaped beaches in Kovalam. Situated between Lighthouse Beach and Samudra Beach, it's named for the strong, consistent sea breeze ('hawa' means wind or air) that blows across its shores. The beach has a distinct character, blending tourist relaxation with the daily life of the local fishing community. In the early mornings, the beach comes alive with fishermen preparing their nets and launching their traditional wooden catamarans into the sea, which is a fascinating sight for visitors.
