Welcome
to South India and experience the untouched delightful South by invasions throughout
its history. South India and the Indian heritage is more intact here than in other
regions of the country. This is a land of temples, a land of the devoutees.
Kannur Travel With
the Lakshadweep sea in the west, the Western Ghats in the east, and the Kozhikode
and Wayanad districts in the south, Kannur is bounded by a wealth of natural
beauty. The district itself, which shares much of this natural splendour, has
been a key contributor to the cultural, religious, political and industrial
heritage of the state. In addition, Kannur also enjoys the credit of having
been the cradle of many a colourful folk art and folk music. Some of the popular
beaches here are:
Dharmadam Island (Beach): The small 5 acre island covered with coconut
palms and green bushes is a beautiful sight from the beach. Permission is required
to enter this privately owned island (100 metres away from the mainland at Dharmadam)
Kizhunna Ezhara (Beach): This beautiful stretch of sand is one of the
most secluded beaches in Kerala (11 km from Kannur).
Payyambalam (Beach): The long, secluded beach is a local picnic spot
(2 km from Kannur)
Ezhimala (Beach): The beautiful beach here has a hillock nearby (286
M high). A Naval Academy is being developed here.
Aqua-Tourism is one of the most important constituent of Kerala.
Aqua-Tourism in Kerala can be broadly classified into three Zones of Kerala.
