Relaxed ride down a small coastal road for 58 km straight South from Conchin. We had breakfast at 8, considerably later than usual, so that we wouldn't arrive at our destination hotel too early. There was relatively light traffic on the road and many trees shading us, so it was a pleasant ride through a mix of humble homes and villas on a sand ridge between the sea and lagoons. There were a few public access roads into the beach, some were used for recreation, and some for fishing. Elsewhere, there was often a substantial dike between the houses and the beach. This is such flat, densely populated country that it is hard to imagine what they could do in the event of a tsunami warning, other than head out to sea.
On the inland side of the road we saw canals and lagoons.
Allepy, aka Alapuzza, looks like a busy regional centre. Some tourists come here to go houseboating in in the canals.
