Which part of Alleppey Beach to go?

So I consider there to be 3 main parts of Alleppey Beach.

There’s no literal separation between the beaches, as it’s just one long stretch of sand.

But if you’re looking for a good spot to do yoga, I would say the further north you go the better!

So further south is where you’ll find the main part of Alleppey Beach.

This can be the most crowded area of Alleppey Beach, particularly in the evening.

Other sections of the beach you can look for on Google Maps can be really anywhere from Zostel Alleppey all the way to Funky Art Beach House where the river meets the sea!

It can be nice to walk along this part between the 2 mentioned guesthouses/hostels, and you can decide where you want to stop for some yoga!

This stretch of beach probably won’t be completely empty, as this area is more of the local residential area of the beach.

But I think it’s better than the “main” part of the beach which is where you will likely find loads of the tourists. 

And then you can even keep walking further up north along the beach, too!

How to book a beach yoga class in Kerala

Heading to the beach and doing your own yoga routine is of course always an option.

But if you are looking for a yoga class in Alleppey to take that will get you ocean views and the sound of ocean waves crashing…
