The town is home to some of the most attractive resorts and hotels in the area, all of which are well-known for their hospitality.

Poovar Beach is an isolated beach that can only be reached by boat. Swimming is permitted.Poovar is a little rustic town 27 kilometres from Thiruvananthapuram with unspoiled, untouched golden sand beaches and picturesque Kerala backwaters.
