About Kappad Tourism
Located about 16 km from Kozhikode town, Kappad beach is one of the famous beaches of Kerala,
due its historical background and charming beauty. It is locally known
as Kappakadavu and is situated at a walking distance from the KorapuzhaRiver.
Its historical importance stems from the fact that this was the beach
that Vasco de Gama, the Portuguese explorer landed on, which in many
ways changed the course of Indian history. There is a small plaque
commemorating this fact, on the beach. Kappad
is also known for its Ayurvedic health holiday facilities. The beach is
known for its moss-covered rock that extends into the sea. On the rocks
nearby, there exists an ancient, 800 year old temple, which attracts a
lot of devotees.
