Kovalam ( Cove long ) Beach
A high end facility surf school that uses surfing as a catalyst for positive change and community development |
Kovalam (Covelong) is a fishing village in Chennai, India, 40 kilometres south of Chennai, on the East Coast Road en route to Mahabalipuram. Covelong was a port town developed by the Nawab of Carnatic, Saadat Ali. It was taken over by the French in 1746, and destroyed by the British in 1752.
The Dutch built a fort in Covelong during the colonial times, which today has been made the Taj Fisherman's Cove, a private luxury beach resort. An ancient Catholic church on the beach is another attraction. There is also a Dharga & temple nearby the beach.
Kovalam Beach,Chennai - Mid Sea Diving
Covelong Beach is one of the few places in the East Coast where wind surfing takes place. There is a surf school with resort in the beach.
This was my another milestone for my destination, I reached here by walking 28 KM's in 5 hours and 26 minutes.
