Marari Beach is the best beach in Alleppey. A true beach feel with the coconut trees around there and relaxing chairs. Stunning view of the sea, much more beautiful than the Alleppey beach with clean blue waters. Neat and well-maintained beach, one can enjoy both sunrise and sunset views. If you need relaxing chairs there you need to pay. We can even get into water up to some extent as waves are not that high. It is peaceful and less crowded, providing an ideal spot to enjoy nature and take long walks. Even with a lot of people, you won't feel it to be crowded as there are no fun activities being done here and mostly it's not crowded. Nearby shops offer snacks, ice cream, and other essentials, adding convenience to your beach visit. The beach is clean, making it suitable for a comfortable day out. Resorts and homestays nearby offer a convenient stay for those looking to extend their visit. You can find a few sunbeds available here, and beach umbrellas and chairs are available for rent at an hourly rate of INR 100. While situated in Cherthala, it is around 15 kilometres from Alleppey, providing an accessible option for those in the area.

Best place to spend time with family and friends. Beach is sunny so there are many ice creams and coconut options nearby beach. Seating option is chargeable here. Parking options are available nearby(paid parking but charges are nominal)

This area is magical. You really feel like you're being embraced by a community of people who know one another, are with their families, and treat you as a part of their lives for all of your stay - the tuk tuk drivers, the homestay owners, the shop owners, the cafe people... Its such a beautiful place, filled with birds and animals, peaceful, beach clean-ups being run, and I hope it remains as unspoilt as possible in this world of increasing tourism. To remove any of the nature for more roads or buildings would be a travesty.....

Very peaceful (go further south from the main bit accessible by the road) with a few beds and umbrellas to hire. It’s got a dangerous undertow so you need to time your entry and exit from the sea carefully but once you’re past the waves, it’s not too bad. Just keep your eye on drift and don’t go too far too out and it’s not suitable for children to a swim here. There’s a few cafes and restaurants set back from the beach. Very chilled place.

Peaceful resort right next to a long sandy beach, a perfect place to end our Kerala tour. Very comfortable rooms and good buffet meals. The three resident naturalists and their Earth Lab activities were the highlight of our stay. They helped us spot so many birds and were so enthusiastic about the local wildlife and the sustainability initiatives employed by the CGH Earth hotel chain. The swimming pool was gorgeous with plenty of sun beds and shade and all staff were really friendly. The peaceful beach was great for a stroll with stunning sunsets and cute crabs too. Highly recommended.

We were staying in nearby Marari Dreamz a 5 minute walk away. Pleasantly surprised by the beach as from reviews we had expected it to be a mess but it wasn't (at least where we were). A lovely stretch of sand. Enjoyed two swims in the sea and had two lunches at beach bars.

Take care as you enter the sea it knocked me over the first time I tried to get in. Losing my sunglasses was nothing in comparison to the strong arm of a young India man who saw my plight and pulled me out. Thank you. Beautiful beach, fresh feeling. deckchairs and towels and umbrellas. A great place and we met some lovely people.

There have been mixed reviews of Marari beach. For a real traveller who appreciates observing the life of the locals it’s great! Yeah it’s not paradise, it’s just a beach. It’s not perfectly clean. There’s some rubbish floating about at the busier end but it has a good vibe with nice places to eat or grab a drink whilst being by the sea or curling up on a sun lounger with a book. Fab place to go to in the early hours of the morning to see the local fishermen bring in their catch and watch the crabs scurry along the sand dipping in and out of the water. Lots of stray dogs but not a problem if you don’t mind dogs! The crows are a pest but you just shoo them away. I really enjoyed my stay here and the beach. Really chilled. Pretty quiet with few tourists which I prefer! Don’t expect luxury. Just appreciate it for what it is. Real India. I highly recommend Marari Nest Homestay nearby. It was the best Homestay I stayed in during the 5 weeks I was in India! Really clean, comfortable, gorgeous garden, five star hospitality and only a 4 minute walk to the beach.
