Muzhappilangad Beach - Kannur

Muzhappilangad Beach (15 km from Kannur and 8 km from Thalasseri): Black rocks protect this long, clean beach from the currents of the deep, making its shallow waters a swimmer's paradise. Perhaps this is Kerala's only drive-in beach where you can drive down the entire length of 4 km.
