Vypin

Known for its long sand beaches, laid-back Vypin Island is a common stop on local ferry tours. Popular Cherai Beach is renowned for dolphin sightings, while quieter Kuzhuppilly Beach is flanked by coconut groves and offers safe swimming. The 1970s Vypin Lighthouse at Puthuvype Beach has an elevator, with sea views from the top. Casual eateries around Pallippuram Road serve homestyle Keralan cuisine.
