The name Samudra Beach is because it is dominated by the KTDC'd excellent Hotel Samudra. This beach is not private but, a 15 min walk or Rs 50 ride northwards from Lighthouse Beach, it is virtually free of pestering beach sellers. The first little bay is edged by small rocky promontories.

This Kovalam Beach is divided into three parts, with the Northern most part is known as the Samudra Beach. The other two parts are the Light house beach which is located at the Southern end and the Hawa beach is located in the middle. The Kovalam beach is in the shape of a crescent and the three beaches are separated from one another, either by large promontory or by disjointed fissures.
The Samudra Beach is made up of the Northern part of Kovalam Beach and is popular among the tourists, both Indian and international. Not affected by the changing times, the Samudra Beach in Kovalam has succeeded in retaining its original charm. Even today one can find a number of basic wooden fishing vessels in the village.
The most attractive fact about the Samudra Beach in Kovalam is its seclusion. Still unaffected by the sudden spurge of tourism, the Samudra Beach does not have tourists crowding over the place. This beach mainly belongs to the native fishermen who operate from this part of Kovalam Beach.
