Varkala by Scooter
Varkala is better when you can take the long way. Here's how we'd spend a day on two wheels.

Start late, not early
Leave after the heat of mid-morning, ride the coast road and let lunch happen wherever you end up.
Odayam
Ten quiet minutes from the cliff. Good swimming, fewer people.
Kappil
Where the backwater runs beside the sea. Park, walk the bridge, stay a while.
Ride sensibly
Helmet on, licence with you, and remember Kerala roads move to their own rhythm.
