Munambam Beach – Neighbour of Cherayi, the best beach in Cochin

Munambam Beach was  created as a result of “Pulimuttu” which wsa build in the area. “The flow of water has changed due to this which has resulted in the formation of the new beach in this place” Scientific Report says.

Pulimuttu is the local name of the 1 km long bridge made of stone stretching in to sea.It is made by piling stones like a pathway to sea. As the Munambam beach is situated near to the very famous Cherai Beach, it is known by everyone. It is the northern tip of the Vypeen island and surrounded by Periyar River at the east & Arabian sea the west.

Beautiful Chinese fishing nets also adorn the beautiful shores filled with fine grained sand. The ocean stole the fine grains from Cherai beach and deposited them in the shores of Munambam over the years. If you are a little lucky enough you can also spot dolphins in the waters.

Munambam is a small fishing village – and you can readily get fresh fishy curry with kappa at shops around the corner. Toddy shops are also there in numbers..

The beach is around 30km from the Kochi city. And along with my family, we set down on a car ride to see the beautiful beach. We drove further down the Marine Drive & through the Goshree bridges moved on to our destination. The Goshree Bridge connects the islands of Vypeen, Mulavukadu and Vallarpadam to Ernakulam / Kochi city.
