The Kappad Beach:

This rock studded golden beach is locally known as Kappakadavu beach or the historic and picturesque Kappad beach in Kerala, South India is the perfect place for a private tête-à-tête with nature's magical charms. Scattered with fishing boats and fishing nets, the Kappad beach is a painters delight. This pleasant, calm beach, is studded with rocks and caressed by friendly waves. An intriguing feature of this beach is a sprawling rock that protrudes into the sea and has a temple on it. The temple is believed to be 800 years old. Kappad Beach is at a small walk on the Korapuzha River, and even after 500 years, it remains untouched and unruffled, making it one of the most serene and peaceful Beaches in Kerala, South India.
Revel with nature in its glorious beauty that engulfs you into a clean and pure world that infuses joy and serenity into your system. Take a boat ride, swim to your hearts content, play beach games or just lie down on the soft sands of the Kappad beach in Kerala, South India. A heady cocktail of history and beauty makes this beach an unconventional beach resort. The stoic sand and the waves exchange the story of a cobwebbed past stagnating in the cellars of time.
This little sea faring town is no less than a haven to the tourists visiting it. The best route to Kappad is along the backwaters. Unspoilt and uncrowded, the scenic backwaters of Kozhikode offer a bewitching experience. A ride down the backwaters through the Korappuzha River brings you to the beach.
