Azhimala beach and Shiva temple.....

Azhimala is a beach near to Kovalam.
 It is a very calm and quiet beach with bluishgreen colour sea water.

 It is around 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram city( around 45 minutes drive from Trivandrum city.)

There is a temple in the name of Azhimala, the deity is Lord Siva. The temple is very near to the beach.
Since the beach can be viwed from the hill top, the name came to be Azhimala, Azhi means 'the sea' and Mala 'the hill'.
Fantastic view of setting sun can be seen from this calm shore
