Payyambalam
Beach :
The Payyambalam Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the
state of Kerala at a distance of 2 km. from Kannur town. This beautiful
stretch of sand and surf is the best place for a relaxing holiday.
This place is famous for the mortal remains of Swadeshabimani Ramakrishna
Pillai, A.K. Gopalan, Pamban Madavan and K.G. Marar are laid to rest near
this resort.
The Payyambalam Beach is a quiet, secluded, beautiful and popular picnic
spot of the local people and holds much potential for development into a
tourist resort.
Dharmadam Beach :
The Dharmadam Beach is 17 Km from Kannur. 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.
Shanghumukham Beach :
08 kms from Thiruvanathapuram , this is a favourite haunt of sunset
watchers. The beach is adjacent to the thiruvananthapuram airport and veli
tourist village. An indoor recreation club, the matsya kanyaka and a
restaurant shaped like a starfish are the major attractions here.
Somatheeram Beach :
15 acres of green garden terraced heights sloping down to the sandy
beach stretching to the tranquil, turquoise sea changing colour and mood
momentarily as the white clouds sail past over it. This is the perfect beach
with a ayurvedic resort for all kind of ayurvedic treatments.
Marari Beach :
Right in the heart of the "spice coast" just an hour from
Cochin and even less to Alleppey(also Known as Alpuzzha) is the most
fabulous stretch of soft sandy beach fringed with palm, an idyllic retreat
for those who want to "get away from it all". Marari originates
from "mararikulam", one of the local fishing villages, where life
still goes on much as it did a hundred years ago, with the men going out to
sea each day to earn a living bringing in the daily catch. Completely new to
the holiday maker. Marari offers endless miles of superb sand beaches backed
by swaying palms, virgin territory where you can experience to local charm
and traditional keralan hospitality at its best.
