'''Cherai Beach''' is a resort town in the Ernakulam district of Kerala, India. Best time to visit is September to May.

Get in

Best way in is the Ferry from Cochin to Vypeen island and then a local bus (12 Rps) to Cherai Junction. From there it is a auto rickshaw (20 Rps) to the beach. Alternative is an autorickshaw from the Ferry for about 100 Rps. There are also buses from Ernakulam to Cherai Junction.

Get around

The place is small enough to walk round.

Cherai junction is the closest town which is a long walk (30-50 mins) or a rickshaw ride. There is the occasional bus to the beach but they are not that regular.

Do

There is a very simple beach resort with just a few restaurants that is backed by a large lagoon. It is possible to take rides on the lagoon otherwise the main activities is around the beach.

Buy

Eat

Three or four restaurants around plus a couple of cafes. The largest is the Cherai Beach resort which has a reasonable but not cheap restaurant attached.

Drink

Sleep

The Cherai Beach resort is the most upmarket place with rooms starting at 2500 Rps. The place is a set of bungalows set around inlets from the logoon. There are quite a few insects around (a man comes around to fumigate the rooms at sunset). The place tries to be an upmarket resort but the rooms are a little to basic for that. The management of the place is also very poor.

There are a couple of other options - a small resort as you come in on the lagoon - and a newish hotel (2007) on the north part of the beach. The later also has a reasonable looking restaurant attached to it.
