Cherunniyoor is a village about 4 km to the south of Varkala, an important pilgrim centre and tourist destination in the Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) District of the Indian state of Kerala. It has government-run primary, upper primary and high schools, a post office, bank, agriculture office and the local panchayath (local government) offices. Cherunniyoor has a large enclave of non-resident locals, most of them employed in the Middle East. It has developed spectacularly in population and infrastructure in the late 1990s. The noted Sastha Temple is located about one kilometre from Cherunniyoor. The population comprises a broad spectrum of Hindus, Muslims and a small number of Christians.

The nearest railway station is Varkala, 5 km away.
