Fort Kochi Beach

Location: 12 Kms From Ernakulam, Kerala
Main Festival: Fort Kochi Carnival
Venue: Fort Kochi Beach
Situated at: Fort Kochi

A leisurely walk through the lanes of the city is the best way to discover historic Fort Kochi Beach.

An obscure fishing village that became the first European township in India, Kochi has an eventful and colourful history. The town was shaped by the Portuguese, the Dutch and later the British.

The result of these cultural interfaces is seen in the remains of the Indo-European architecture in Fort Kochi. Cochin Carnival on the New Year eve is a colourful festival not to be missed at the beach site.
