Vallikunnu Beach

Long stretches of unspoiled, pristine beaches away from crowds, just lie on the beach and get tanned or indulge in surfing.

There is much to explore as you walk barefoot on the beach sand with the coconut trees and a few fishermen for company. All those enjoyable moments are yours if you stay at the Beach Resort in the middle of the coconut grove on the beach. Drive down and admire the birds and spot the exotic and migratory ones at the Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary close by.
Ezhimala Beach
The seven peaks of the majestic Ezhimala Hills stand honored as the sea waters pay homage at their feet. Nature has preserved the hidden beach which has a cave and burial chamber located just off the beach. The stone pillars with etched figures stand testimony to the fact that this beach was appreciated even in ancient times.
Soft sands, beautiful photographs, waves rising and falling with the tide, the green-hued hills in the backdrop, and the coconut trees dancing in the wind are awe-inspiring and calming at the same time. Spot some dolphins as they leap out for your attention at the alluring Ettikulam Bay. This hidden gem of a beach is approximately 330 km from Kochi and 510 km from Trivandrum if you drive yourself by car and just enjoy the scenery on the way.
Kizhunna and Ezhara beaches 12 km from Kannur and 277 km from Kochi have a rocky shoreline, frothing sea foam, fishing boats and trawlers going about their business, swaying coconut trees and the clean tempting beach laid out for a few solitary moments with your loved one.
