The Kozhikode beach is as yet an unspoilt
feature of the city. Head for the beach, a favorite haunt of the city of Kozhikode. A walk along
the beach with the sea breeze teasing your hair is a lovely experience.
The beach has two very old piers and a lighthouse which is worth a
visit. Walk down to the tip of the old bridge found on the beach. Kick off your
shoes and sit on the adjoining rocks and watch the spectacular sunset over the
horizon. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of dolphins out in the sea
by the Dolphin Point in the far distance. Feel the fine water spray on your
face and listen to the sounds of waves breaking against the rocks. Watch
fishing boats battle the sea as they return to shore with their catch of the
day. A truly magnificent place to visit, if you have plenty of time and nothing
much to do!
Close to the beach is the popular Lions Park
with good play facilities for children. You can also visit the Marine aquarium
that is situated nearby. Food stalls do good business catering to families who
frequent the beach and its surrounding attractions. Try the sea food delicacies
like the Kallumakaya (mussels) which is the specialty of the region. |
