How to Spend an Afternoon in Fort Kochi (And Where to Watch the Sunset)
Fort Kochi is the best place in Kerala for a walking day trip. You can spend the early afternoon looking at the famous Chinese Fishing Nets, walking past old colonial buildings, and exploring the quiet art streets.
But as the afternoon ends, every tourist runs into the exact same problem: where is the best place to sit, eat, and watch the sun go down?
The Problem with the Public Sights
Most visitors make the mistake of staying right next to the Chinese Fishing Nets for sunset.
This area gets completely packed with people. It is loud, busy, and you will likely have to stand the entire time while fighting for a good view. After walking in the heat all day, standing in a crowd is the last thing you want to do.
The Best Sunset View in Fort Kochi
If you want a quiet, beautiful place to watch the sky change colors, walk along Beach Road to Old Lighthouse Bristow Hotel.
Our 1927 heritage property sits directly on the coast. We have an open, green lawn that looks right out over the Arabian Sea. You get a clear, wide view of the sunset without the loud public crowds blocking your camera.
Where to Eat Seafood in Fort Kochi
You do not need to leave the water to find a good dinner. We have our own seafood restaurant right on the property.
Here is why our lawn is the perfect end to your day trip:
- Fresh Local Food: We serve hot, fresh seafood caught locally.
- Cold Drinks: We are licensed to serve beer and wine. You can finally rest your legs and drink a cold glass of beer or wine while looking at the water.
- Total Comfort: You sit in comfortable chairs on our private grass instead of standing on the hot pavement.
End Your Day the Right Way
Do not end a great travel day standing in a noisy crowd. Treat yourself to a quiet dinner and a cold drink by the sea.
Walk down to Old Lighthouse Bristow around 5:30 PM to grab the best seat on the lawn before the sun drops.
