Fort Kochi beach, Beach along Arabian Sea in Fort Kochi, India.
The Fort Kochi beach extends along the western coast of Kerala, featuring traditional Chinese fishing nets operated by local fishermen.
The beach area contains remnants of Fort Emmanuel, constructed by Portuguese colonizers in the 16th century near the current granite walkway.
Local fishermen maintain centuries-old fishing practices using massive shore-operated lift nets measuring 10 meters in height with 20-meter spreads.
Visitors can purchase fresh seafood from beach vendors and observe the net operations while walking along the shoreline toward Vembanad Lake.
The beach connects to a naval base and features colonial bungalows alongside traditional fishing installations that require six-person teams for operation.
