Kozhikode Beach & Kappad Day Trip

Kozhikode

Kappad is a small rocky beach north of Kozhikode where Vasco da Gama landed in May 1498 — the event that redrew the map of the Indian Ocean trade. Beypore, to the south, still builds the uru, the wooden dhows that have been made there for centuries and traded with the Gulf. Between them lies Kozhikode itself, with its beach, its halwa and its food.
