Charming Spots Near Beypore

Kozhikode (Calicut) Town:
Once the capital of the powerful Zamorins and a major trade and commerce centre, Kozhikode was the most important region of Malabar in the past. Today, lush green countrysides, serene beaches, historic sites, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, hills, a unique culture and a warm, friendly ambience make Kozhikode (Calicut) a most favoured destination.

Kappad is the place where Vasco da Gama set foot for the first time when he came to India on May 27, 1498. There isa small stone monument at the beach to commemorate that event.

Dolphin's Point is a good place to watch dolphins playing in the sea early in the morning. On this beach are also situated Calicut Town Center, Lions Club, and a lighthouse.
Mananchira:
Mananchira (Calicut), which was the palace tank of King Mana Vikrama, has been now turned into a traditional architectural splendor with carpeted green grass and surrounded by ethnic buildings. The place also has a musical fountain.
Muchunthi Palli:
A 13th century Vattezhuthu inscribed on a stone slab can be seen in this mosque. this is the oldest of the three mosques existing at Kuttichira, in Kozhikode town. The inscription narrates the donation of the property to the mosque by a Zamorine. This mosque too is built in the traditional Kerala architectural style.
Kozhikode (Calicut) Beach:
This beach is a favourite haunt of sunset viewers. Adding to its natural beauty is the old world charm retained in the old lighthouse and the two crumbling piers, each more than a hundred years old, that run into the sea.
