Fort Kochi beach
A stroll along the beach, particularly at sunset with the chinese fishing nets and sailing ships in the background, is a fine experience. Many European style bungalows can be seen along the shoreline. The chinese fishing nets found here are the only ones of its kind in India, a legacy of the trading connections between China and India many centuries ago. It is believed that traders from the court of the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan introduced these nets here. These nets, at the entrance of the harbour and along the backwaters with pivots of wood, are the icon of Cochin sea trade.
