Kozhikode Beach
Kozhikode,
the most important region of Malabar in yesteryears, was the capital of the
powerful Zamorins and also a prominent trade and commerce center.
It was here at Kappad that Vasco Da Gama landed in his search for the spices
of the Orient. Today the serene beaches, lush green countryside, historic sites,
all combine to make this a popular tourist destination filled with a warm ambience.
Kozhikode Beach is a favourite haunt of sunset viewers. Its natural beauty and
old world charm makes it a dreamy place to visit.
The beach has an old lighthouse and two crumbling piers running into the sea,
each more than a hundred years old.
Children can be entertained at the Lions Park and the Marine Water Aquarium.
Should you be able to drag yourself away from the beach the city of Calicut
or Kozhikode awaits you with its unique culture and other treasures.
