Kappad Beach
16 kms from Kozhikode (Calicut) (Calicut), this is the historic beach where
Vasco-da-Gama landed on the 27th of May 1498, with 170 men in three vessels.
A monument on the beach commemorates this historic event. The rock studded
beach is locally known as Kappakadavu. An interesting feature of the landscape
is the sprawling rock that protrudes into the sea. The temple on the rock
is believed to be 800 years old. The beach is gentle and partly. To the tourist, however, this little sea faring town is a haven. The best route to Kappad is along the backwaters. Un-spoilt and un-crowded, the picturesque backwaters of Kozhikode offers a bewitching experience. A ride down the backwaters through the Korappuzha river brings you to the beach.
