Cantilevered fishing nets, also known as “Chinese fishing nets,” can be found in several locations along the coastal areas of Kerala, India. These unique fishing nets are a popular tourist attraction and are commonly used by local fishermen.
The most famous spot to see these fishing nets is in Fort Kochi, a historical area in Kochi (Cochin). Here, you can witness these iconic nets along Fort Kochi Beach and the Vypeen Island shore. The sight of these large, elegant structures being operated by fishermen is quite fascinating.
Apart from Fort Kochi, you may also come across cantilevered fishing nets in other coastal towns and fishing villages along the Kerala coast, particularly in places with active fishing communities.
