Trivandrum Airport to Kovalam by Cab — Why It Works
Trivandrum International Airport (TRV) to Kovalam is the shortest airport-to-beach transfer in Kerala — just 16 km. Within 40 minutes of collecting your bags you can be on Lighthouse Beach. The route passes Shanghumukham Beach (right beside the airport) and follows the coastal road south to Kovalam's three crescent bays.

Driving Tips
- Pre-book your pickup — airport taxi queues at TRV can be long when international flights land together.
- Landing at sunset? Ask the driver to take the Shanghumukham beach road — it adds 5 minutes and starts the holiday early.
- Kovalam has three beaches — confirm which one your resort is on (Lighthouse, Hawa, or Samudra) for the exact drop point.
