in the traditional way and collect shells to produce lime. The environs along
the coast invite to wonderful walks.Between the northern end of the busy tourist
place Kovalam (about 5 km north of Mulloor) and the fishing village Adhimalathura
in the south are more than 8 km of picturesque rocky coast with 12 palm fringed
beaches. Vizhinjam,
a fishing village 3 km north of Mulloor, has a fishing harbour where every morning
a fish market takes place. The village near to the harbour houses two over 1000
years old monuments: The Bagavati Temple is very beautiful situated and nearby
