Mappila Bay

St. Angelo's Fort

Location: Kannur, Kerala
Significance: A Fishing Harbour
Main Attraction: Remnants of Temple and Fort
Nearby Attraction: St. Angelo's Fort

Mappila bay, the famous fishing harbour is situated near the St.Angelo's Fort. The beach is a natural and now a modernised fishing harbour built with assistance under the Indo Norwegian pact.
The remnants of the temple & fort are still seen in Mappila bay. The bay was famous during the Kolathiri's regime as a commercial harbour that linked Kolathunadu with Lakshadweep and foreign countries, in imports.
A sea wall projecting from the fort separates the rough sea and inland water. If the weather is favourable a ride in the sea will be a memorable experience.
