The beaches along Kovalam move imperceptibly from one to another, and not everyone uses the same names for each part of what amounts in reality to one long coastline.

I stand in what I (and most people) call Hawa beach looking at this structure. I might describe it as standing at the opposite end of Lighthouse Beach to the lighthouse, if Lighthouse Beach didn’t end somewhere earlier and give way to Hawa Beach.

Somewhere near this structure George Harrison and friends celebrated whatever they celebrated and inadvertently give birth to the legend of the Beatles café.
