Kappad
Located 16 kms from the main town of Kozhikhode, the Kappad Beach is one of the most Charming Beaches of Kerala, also popular for its historic significance. This was the land where the famous Portuguese sailor, Vasco da Gama set his feet in the year 1498 along with 170 men. This marked the beginning of a new era and new relationship between the Indians and the Portuguese which lasted for 4 to 5 centuries later.
The rock studded beach is locally known as Kappakadavu. An interesting feature of the landscape is the rock that protrudes into the sea. Kappad is a quiet place where it is pretty easy (and loved) to loose connection with the outside world. It is perhaps one of those opportunities for you for which you have been yearning for long. Be with yourself, watch the clear sky and the rushing waves.
