Covelong is a distinguished village for its fishing activities and lures guests for its swaying palms and striking beach. It’s forever been amongst the trendiest beach resorts on the Coromandel Coast for its surroundings, setting, and infrastructure. Covelong cherishes a past and was a prominent port of the Nawabs of the Carnatic. The troop of the French General Laboudonnais captured it in 1746, and it was later destroyed by Clive in 1752.
