Thirumullavaram Beach

Thirumullavaram Beach is a serene coastal destination located approximately six kilometres north of Kollam city in Kerala. Known for its calm waters and golden sands, it is considered one of the safest beaches for swimming in the region. The beach features the distinctive Njayarazhcha Para rock formation visible during low tide and is culturally significant for the nearby Maha Vishnu Temple and Vavu Bali rituals.

Visitors can expect a tranquil beach environment with coconut palms providing shade along the shoreline. The beach offers clear, calm waters suitable for swimming and sunbathing without identified danger zones. A notable feature is the Njayarazhcha Para, a rock hillock extending into the sea that becomes visible from the shore during low tides. The area includes seating options and serves as a picnic spot with a peaceful atmosphere distinct from more crowded urban beaches.

The beach is closely associated with the nearby Sri Maha Vishnu Swamy Temple, a revered site for Hindu rituals. It is a major location for the annual Vavu Bali ceremony, where thousands of devotees gather to perform offerings for their ancestors.
