Timeline

  1. 17:07

    Chez Teapot

    Grab a pot of tea and a dessert at Chez Teapot. It opens at 08:30, so you have plenty of time before the sun starts to dip. The interior is nice and it is a short walk from the beach.

  2. 17:37

    Fort Kochi Beach

    Walk down to Fort Kochi Beach. It is a 6-minute stroll from the café. The beach is small but has a beautiful walkway. Find a spot facing west to watch the sky change.

  3. 18:22

    Fort Kochi Beach

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts around 17:52, so the sky will be bright and warm just before the sun disappears at 18:22.

  4. 18:52

    Fusion Bay

    End the evening at Fusion Bay. It is an Indian restaurant located 8 minutes from the beach. It is open until 22:00, so you can grab a late dinner or just stay for the atmosphere.

Local tip

The beach is small after the 2004 tsunami, so it fills up quickly. If you want a better spot, head slightly away from the main walkway. Check the route if you need to get back to your accommodation.
