VELLI LAGOON

Veli Lagoon a haven of peace and beauty a place of unique charm

where the lake merges with the sea. And man has transformed it into an

ideal picnic spot with sand, grass and foliage.

The main attraction at Veli is a large inland lake, separated from

the ocean by only a narrow sandbar. For a small fee, rides can be had in

motor-driven safari launches and power boats or a family can drift about

in a pedal boat or a row boat. While skimming over the lake, visitors will

see local fishermen repairing their boats, working on their nets or poling

sand-laden barges.

The grounds are dotted with interesting climbing sculptures designed

by well-known sculptor Kanai Kunhiraman.

There are pony rides and an open air theatre. This theatre serves as

centre for cultural performances and, with the ocean as the backdrop

provides the setting for an annual arts festival. There is a floating bridge,

and a floating restaurant too.
