Mararikulam is a village surrounded by beaches in the Alappuzha district of Kerala. The beautiful beach is known as the Marari Beach or the Mararikulam beach. Divided into two village panchayats mainly Mararikulam South and Mararikulam North, this small beach village is also considered as one of the best tourist spots in Kerala by the visitors. It is even rated by the National Geographic survey as one of the world’s top five hammock beaches.
Mararikulam abounds in natural settings and is a nature lover’s delight. One can study and explore myriads of the Malabar coastal ecosystem which boasts of over 97 species of butterflies, more than 350 species of endemic plants, 3 varieties of turtles, over 10 kinds of frogs and innumerable rare species of birds.
Being a small village in Kerala, the primary occupation of the villagers is fishing. They earn a meagre income of Rs. 100-300 a day and earn some extra income from tourists who frequent the village and the beaches.
