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.
