Fort Kochi is also home to one of India's oldest churches - the St.Francis
Church. The raw and unused stretch of beach is a loner's delight,
where one could swim, play cricket or volley ball and even manage
to practice yoga. If you are lucky, you also get sight of a dolphin.
The main attraction on this beach site is the historic fort which
helps you to get familiar with its eventful colonial history and European
regimes who ruled it. Cochin Carnival on the New Year eve is a colourful
festival not to be missed at the beach site. Kochi thus became a haven
for seafaring visitors from all over the world
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.
Reaching Fort Kochi Beach:
