Arthunkal beach is located near to the famous church - St. Andrew's Basilica. It is about 2km away from the church. Visitors normally gather in the evening. Arthunkal being a religious worshiping centre devotees visit the beach frequently. Nice spot to spend time with family and friends to enjoy the cool breeze and sunset. A beach that reveals the life of fishermen who catch and sell the fishes for income. The entryway to the beach is bit dirty. But beach is beautiful. The beach is the endless stretch of coconut trees planted along the beach. Water is not dirty but bathing in the sea is restricted by the beach police squad. I won't recommend diving or swimming as its very steep. Sometimes, the wave is also too high. Ample parking area...Small food stalls are there. There is a small park in Northern side of the beach.

It's a lovely beautiful long sandy beach!!! Approximately 700 meter from Arthunkal basilica. When visiting Arthunkal Church, you can come and relax a little here. Better to come in morning or evening time, It's too hot in the afternoon, Very less shade also. Don't expect more, It's an average beach compared to other beaches! Anyhow you can enjoy a coastal experience here! If the government or related authorities can take the initiative then they can turn this into a wonderful tourist spot!

One of the best and famous beach in Alappuzha District. The beach is very near to the reputed Arthunkal Church. The beach is clean and maintained. The beach has sufficient space for parking and it is free. Small shops for ice cream and snacks are available. The road leading to the beach is good.

Arthunkal beach marked by a calm and serene atmosphere. Also known as fishermen's beach. 600 metres far from Arthunkal Church. Don’t have parking spaces, better to park near church and take walk to the beach. Live fishes are available. This is one the many beaches that you would find in the state and is located in the district of alapuzzha in central Kerala. when you compare with other beaches in the state, this would be an ordinary one with less provisions and facilities that you would find along any beaches. since this place is very well known, one can reach here via public and private transportation with limited parking space for private vehicles. the best time to visit would be during evening hours when you would get a glimpse of a beautiful sunset and a peaceful walk along the coast of the beach - this would be something that you would want to have along with your family and friends. as for snacks and juices, there are some small shops that you can try out but don't expect too many facilities. additionally, there shops and the various nearby outlets that you see around would be accepting cash rather than cards. in case you happen to be nearby alapuzzha and are looking for an evening stroll along with family and friends then this would be a nice choice.

One of the most beautiful church, we always visit here, we get a positive ambiance from the church

The evenings here are awesome with much less crowds. We had a nice peaceful evening here. There are shops here but on that day only a few were opened. You can enjoy the beach with very few people looking your way.

The road leading to the beach is on the opposite side of the Arthunkal church. It is a very quiet beach and there are few people here. If you go after 2 o'clock, you can get good fresh fish here

I have been to this beach multiple times before and this time it was not as clean as it was before, Arthunkal Pernal was ongoing and alot of hawkers and different type of sellers were on the beach and all the rubbish or left overs were thrown on the beautiful beach , I know I should not have put it down by 2 stars but this was my experience this time, yes i will visit the place again and I'm sure I will revisit my review again to make a change for sure 😉 but overall I feel this beach is quite big and quite relaxing in its beautiful way ! Yes please try to visit early morning and a bit in the evening to be safe from the scorching sun 🌞.

One of my favourite places in my hometown .. love to sit there .. and we can just simply forget everything . So relaxing ..

Arthungal beach near St. Andrews church in cherthala. One of the must visit beach ⛱️ with beautiful experience

This is one the many beaches that you would find in the state and is located in the district of alapuzzha in central Kerala. The beach is historical being frequented by the Portugese.and has a beach side st Andrews Forane Church built by potugese. The beach is very dirty with lot of smell in the air of dried seafood. Not so easy to walk. You can but dried sea food products on the beach as their was one shop for that. I would say below average beach.

This beach is located nearest to arthunkal basilica church, Alappuzha district. Nice place to hangout with friends and family.The best time to visit is during evening hours were you will get a glimpse of a beautiful sunset. There is limited parking space for private vehicles and limited shops.

Beach has got enough parking spaces. Dried fish, toys, snack bars etc operate near the beach side. However the Beach sand is heavily polluted with plastic. Good for outings with family and friends.

Decent beach spot. Clean sands, moderate waves. Suitable for a casual day out. However, the ambiance lacks both privacy and tranquility.

One of the famous historical church in Kerala. A blessed place.

Arthungal Beach offers a peaceful and natural setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty of Kerala's coastal region. One of the main attractions of Arthungal Beach is the historic St. Andrew's Forane Church

One of the famous beach of Kerala due to the fame of Arthunkal church. Outside Kerala also known about the church as well as the beach. Long festival of more than 20 days..

After a long time, back to Arthunkal beach. Beach improved a lot in cleanliness. Still q long way to reach Marari & andhakaranazhi standards. The park near the beach is not maintained well though. My son just escaped from a falling coconut branch.

Very beautiful beach with less fecilities. Not so busy! Calm and quiet.

It's a nice beach. You can visit with your family and friend.

Arthunkal beach is nearby the famous arthunkal basilica. U can spent time here with family also friends.

One of the less crowded Beach in alappuzha district. ⠀ *This beach is near the famous St.Andrews basilica, most people who come to visit the church comes to the beach. ⠀ *The Coast Guard is always on the lookout for us.⠀ *Some place are not well maintained.⠀ *Enough parking space ⠀ *Food and drinks can be bought from near shops. ⠀ *Coconut tress to the left side is also an attraction.

Beautiful beach ever. Near beach lots of dry fish shops situated and small ice cream shops. Nice ambience

Perefect place to visit with family. You also have the St Sebastian Church near and there are small stalls to buy things. Altogether a nice experience but make sure to visit anytime after 4.30PM to avoid the heavy sunlight..

Nice and clean beach...lovely to see fishing boats..not many people around, vey quiet and calm when visited, which was good, loved the warmth of sea water.

The beach is at a walkable distance from the St. Andrew's Basilica. There are lot of fishermen with their small fishing boats. It is a good beach to visit but there are more beautiful beaches like Marari beach and Alleppey beach nearby where more tourists are visiting.Not crowded. Not given any preference by tourism dep for this beach. A large beach wants more development to be tourist friendly. You may get fresh fish directly from the fishermen.

Neat and clean countryside beach. One of the best beaches in Kerala.

Arthunkal beach located near the famous church St. Andrew's Basilica, Arthunkal. Beach was clean.The best time to enjoy with friends and family is evening time.

Good one, best for avoiding crowds.

Elevation look of the church is really good. Situated near to a beach

Arthunkal beach is located close to the renowned arthunkal basilica. Evenings here are jammed with public. The place is not very calm as people throng in groups in the evenings.

It was a wonderful place to be at weekends. There is this excellent view of the landscape which gives our mind a soothing experience. We have been there along with our family consisting of children of various age. The place was equally enjoyable for all age groups. Overall, a nice place to visit and to recommend. Have a great time with your family or friends here. All the best.

Arthunkal beach is near to the arthungal church pilgrimage. There is a walkable distance to the beach. The reach is good by average cleanliness. The fishermens will be on the shores with their catches. We can see fresh fishes and sea creature's for sales.

Nice place to visit,but little bit dirty with plastics.

Sunrise was beautiful from rockway arthungal..shore was silent and beautiful. Best ambience for photoshoot.

The beach was quiet and nice. It could have been a little more cleaner. Liked the overall experience

I really love roaming @beaches. As I expected Arthunkal beach is enrich with white smooth soil, cool winds spraying waves,peaceful climate and beautiful views. Its really kept nature friendly. A lot of touristers visiting here daily. A park is working besides the beach. Desert items and snacks are selling here, for a refreshment. This place gave me more experiences.

Arthunkal beach situated near the Arthunkal old church(St. Andrew's Basilica Church). The beach has a good view and less crowded. You can enjoy a peaceful sunset here. It's a best choice when u want to relax a little.

This beach is very near to the famous Arthunkal church. We can feel very calm and Serene atmosphere here. Evening time is the best time to visit. People from far places to visit this beach. It's a safe beach. We can see many fisherman's and fishing boats here. Lots of mini shops are available here.

Very nice beach ..and the rockways over the sea is Soo nice to take pictures and all..somewhat clean and the church also looking great and spiritual

Must visit place in alappuzha district. Recommend date will be Jan 10 to Jan 27 every year. Kids will enjoy each and every moment.

A decent beach.. but not maintained by local government... Lot of crowd used to visit in the evening... Not enough parking space as well..
