The famous Vizhinjam Lighthouse in Kerala reopens after a gap of two years

The very famous and extremely gorgeous Vizhinjam Lighthouse has finally reopened to vstors after remaining shut for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Counted among the oldest lighthouses in the state and in the country, Vizhinjam is an iconic structure visited by a large number of tourists every year.

The old lighthouse was reopened on May 1 and on the very first day, a long queue of visitors was seen flocking the gorgeous tower.
From the lighthouse, people can enjoy some magical bird eye views of Thiruvananthapuram's picture-perfect coast. Now that the number of COVID-19 infections has gone down significantly, tourist attractions everywhere are gradually opening up which have been shut for a long time.

After you reach the top of the lighthouse, you can easily see some stunning sights unfolding before your eyes. It includes some mesmerising views of the pretty Lighthouse Beach at Kovalam, Edakkallu rock formations and Eve’s Beach or Hawa Beach, to name a few.
As of now only a few people are allowed to get inside the lighthouse.

Timings: 10 AM to 12.45 PM and 2 PM to 5.45 PM.

Closed day: Monday

Apparently, entry inside the Vizhinjam Lighthouse was banned from March 2020, right after the pandemic.
