Hawa Beach, also known as Eve’s Beach, is a scenic and relatively quieter beach located in Kovalam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, lying opposite the more popular Lighthouse Beach. It is surrounded by tall palm groves that add to its natural beauty and elegance. Early mornings see local fishermen at work, creating a lively cultural atmosphere with their chants blending with the sound of the waves.

The beach is known for its clean, blue waters and beautiful sunsets, making it a favorite among tourists looking for a peaceful spot. Unlike Lighthouse Beach, Hawa Beach is less commercialized, with fewer hotels and restaurants right on the shore, though there are some eateries serving fresh seafood nearby.

In the evenings, local families often gather on the beach, making it a vibrant social space. Safety is advised as the beach currents can be stronger than at other nearby beaches.
