Grove Beach in Kovalam set for makeover

Kovalam: The Grove Beach is popular among tourists arriving at the famous tourist destination, Kovalam. The beach is set for a makeover as its beautification is the main agenda of the master plan being implemented at the tourist centre before the start of the next season. 

Grove Beach attracts a large number of tourists, but it has seen no development over the years.

Discussions are meanwhile in the final stage for the comprehensive improvement of the other beaches in Kovalam, Light House and Eve’s. The master plan envisages new projects for tackling issues like waste management and disposal which have been haunting the destination for years. Another project aims to facilitate convenient parking for vehicles.

The master plan also includes a suggestion to relocate all the tiny businesses in Kovalam to a single area. Yet another project seeks to provide washrooms with modern facilities. 

Tourism authorities said that work as per the master plan would be launched before the start of the next season. The projects would be presented at the next working group meeting of the government. The work would start as soon as sanction is obtained, the officials said.
