Sunset at Bypore Pier, Kerala, India

Sunset at Bypore Pier, Kerala, India, is one of the few tourist attractions at the off-beat Bypore Beach in Kerala.
The Bypore Pier is 2 KM long bridge build in the Sea. It was used in olden days by the fisher men and is means to hold back the severe sea currents. As of now the main tourist attraction is for watching the sun setting in the sky.

Our visit to the Bypore Pier was on crowded evening in December month. Most of the crowd was due to tourist in Bypore and the locals who had returned back from Middle East or other countries for vacations with family. The Pier is accompanied with half km Beach. There are some local vendors selling some junk food, icecream, chips and Colas on the Beach.

We also spotted some local fisher men catching shell fish on the banks of the Pier.

While our visit to the Bypore Pier, Kerala, India, we saw some localites mingling in the piers steep rock banks. Initially we were quiet surprised to see why they are trying the dare devil stunts. Later we came to know that they are fishing fresh shell fish. Some of them had actually got down in to the sea waves splashing on the sharp rocks to catch the shell fish. Few had brought buckets from their home else were carrying it in plastic bags. Saw some girls selling the locally caught fresh shell fish to the visitors of the Pier.
