Kozhikode Beach

Kozhikode Beach

The Kozhikode beach is as yet an unspoilt feature of the city. Head for the beach, a favorite haunt of the city of Kozhikode. A walk along the beach with the sea breeze teasing your hair is a lovely experience. The beach has two very old piers and a lighthouse which is worth a visit. Walk down to the tip of the old bridge found on the beach. Kick off your shoes and sit on the adjoining rocks and watch the spectacular sunset over the horizon. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of dolphins out in the sea by the Dolphin Point in the far distance. Feel the fine water spray on your face and listen to the sounds of waves breaking against the rocks. Watch fishing boats battle the sea as they return to shore with their catch of the day. A truly magnificent place to visit, if you have plenty of time and nothing much to do! Close to the beach is the popular Lions Park with good play facilities for children. You can also visit the Marine aquarium that is situated nearby. Food stalls do good business catering to families who frequent the beach and its surrounding attractions. Try the sea food delicacies like the Kallumakaya (mussels) which is the specialty of the region.
