'For a perfect, laid-back beach experience in the city, head to the Alappuzha Beach. Located at a short distance of 1 km from the Alappuzha railway station, it is one of the city’s prime attractions. The beach is worth visiting for its picturesque views of the sea and sunsets. It is, therefore, among the popular locations for film shootings, and many Indian films have been shot here. Known for its serene surroundings, the beach is an ideal location to spend some leisure time in the company of nature. The nearby Vijay Beach Park is a favorite among children for its toy train and boat rides.'
