Located in Cherthala, north of Alleppey, Thaickal Beach is a wide sandy beach known for its serene atmosphere and beautiful sunset. Apart from the narrow roads, which might be a hassle to park your vehicle, the beach is easily accessible by road. Thaikal beach isn't too crowded; you'll mostly find fishers and locals; hence, there are no lifeguards or other facilities; you'll need to walk ahead for 2 kms to find local shops and stores. A day's tour to the beach and Arthunkkal church in Cherthala will be a good experience.
