Kappad Beach

About this place

Located 16 kms away from Kozhikode in the south India state of Kerala, the beautiful place called Kappad beach was discovered by the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama during 15th century. It is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it an ideal beach holiday destination for relaxation. Dotted with fascinating formation of rocks on all its sides, the beach landscape includes several coconut groves and long stretches of silvery sands drenched by lathered surf that soothingly rolls up and down the shores. Also known as Kappakadavu beach, it's one of the famous beaches that is just 16 kms away from Calicut, India. It is very calm and famous for its tranquillity and scenic beauty. A very thrilling feature of the Kappad beach is the rock that protrudes into the sea. The major attraction of the beach is an 800 years old temple, located nearby Kappad beach. For visitors it's suggested to come through backwaters to reach Kappad beach in order to explore the beauty of nature. The golden sand and fishing hamlets in the vicinage also add to its peacefulness. Less crowded and unspoilt, the beautiful backwaters of Kappad offer an enthralling experience.
