Mahatma Gandhi Beach - Beach in Kochi - Ernakulam, India

This beach is a very well maintained pleasant beach with amazing sunrise view. Great for a long walk alongside Fort kochi. Peppered with local markets, fresh fish shops, this is the quintessential Indian beach family experience. To note this beach is not something with a coastline, so you cannot walk on the sand but you do have a raised walkway which let's you enjoy the sound of waves and various views. Don't miss the ferry experience to Vypin Beach to experience a beautiful sunset and do eat at Seagull and Fort Kochi hotel.

I think Ganghi would be saddened by the sight of this beach bearing his name. He would probably wanted a refund. Very dirty, trash everywhere, disgusting smell. Sooo many annoying vendors on both sides of walkway trying to sell you useless stuff. Cannot even walk to the shore, swimming or even walking in the sea is absolutely not an option. Not only it is existential to avoid stepping into heaps of trash, it is also banned here. Wonder why. No point visiting.

Very beautiful place..but beach is not there only view point os there

The beach has a beautiful view and good for spending an evening. Pros 1. Good location 2. Great view with ships 3. Adequate food and other shops 4. Parking available in parade ground 5. Good vibes Cons 1. Lack of cleanliness with waste seen in beach area 2. Avoid chaat shops as the quality of food us very bad. Moreover they are overpriced 3. Crowded on sundays

Best part of this place is Sunset. It's the most happening place during the evenings. Lots of local eateries and ferries passing by with lights. You can easily spend an hour or two. The bad part is it's not that clean. Overall a good place to visit if you are in Kochi.

The beach is not clean and you can barely sit on sand. But it had the most beautiful sunset that I had ever experienced. It was surreal and beautiful.

For Kochinites it's not just a beach it's an emotion. But nowadays the beach is not maintained well and in a pathetic condition. The authorities should look into it and could take necessary steps to make the beach beautiful and attractive to tourists. During winter the waves will touch almost close to the land nearby. Also some areas of the beach we get bad smells. Chairs are not properly maintained they could arrange for some security staff to make sure people are following the rules correctly. Apart from that the beach is a major attraction for those who are visiting Kerala. There are lots of beautiful locations that are near the beach . The old buildings, British colonial things etc still have their own charm. If authorities consider this to maintain there is a huge chance to develop tourism in kochi.

Always the best escape any one can have...well maintained..its good place for couples too..the cleanliness is just ok...we have gone on a working day..then too the place was literally crowded.
