ngs the beauty of the Kerala beaches to the fore and beckons the beach enthusiast to come and bask in the pleasures of lovely beach pleasures.
While in Kerala,visit the Kappad beach in the region of Kozhikode and enjoy the pleasant manner in which the beach here swallows the tourist and doles out the most memorable beach delights. This is a rock laden beach and is called the Kappakkadavu. The tourist would find this as one of the most charming beaches in Kerala and it is a region that has to be seen to be believed. Kerala has the charm and the elegance to attract any tourist with its lovely beauty and the innate grace of a queen.
Kappad has mentions in the history and also the Indian geography as the land which was then the gateway to the coast of Malabar. Around 500 years back, it is said that around 170 men landed here in the coast and they were led by the great Portuguese navigator Vasco Da Gama. This was sometime in the 14th century between the years 1460 to 1524. They sailed into this land and landed in Kerala God’s blessing to the world. This was the beginning of a brand new chapter in the world history and provided another edition to Indian historical tales. There was a lasting relation between Europe and India. The Malabar Coast was rich and wealthy and attracted foreigners from all over. So Indian coasts began to see the likes of the Phoenicians, the Arabs, the Portuguese, the Romans, the English and the Dutch and the Malabar Coast received all of them with rich wealth and local warmth. Kappad beach is one such historical place which has seen such landings and has been witness to a past that is unbeatable.
In those days Kozhikode was a very important centre of trade in the Malabar region and was ruled by the Zamorins who were very powerful people and were pretty shrewd too in their dealings. The Portuguese were welcome in Kozhikode but were really not encouraged and were not given much attention for a long time by the Zamorins. Gradually the Portuguese shifted their settlement to Kollam from Kochi. Today there is only a small stone monument that is found at the Kappad beach which speaks of the historical importance of this place. There is a temple here that is said to be more than 800 years old.
With such thoughts laden in my mind, I visited the Kappad beach and found this small fascinating sea faring region a tiny heaven in Indian travels. A must see for any enthusiastic tourists it is the sheer simplicity of the place that captures your heart. The best way to reach Kappad is to take the backwaters. Totally unspoilt and absolutely picturesque the Kappad beach is one virgin Kerala beauty that no one would want to miss. A mesmerizing locale and an enchanting experience the rides down the backwaters here is a great treat so as you go along the River Korapuzha, get ready to be surrounded by ultimate travel delights and the greatest tour experiences.
Kappad has Kozhikode as the nearest railhead and airport. The Karipur International Airport at Kozhikode is surely the best way to reach here.
With Vasco Da Gama having lent his share of contribution in making this place famous and popular, there are the sights of the surrounding beauty that holds the attention of the tourists coming to this part of India.
The stone inscription which details that Vasco Da Gama landed here in the Kappad beach is what remains for us to be excited about here. So the fact that India was dominated by the Europeans for more than 450 years gets eroded when we see that the beauty of this place which has been existent since then.
There is a temple here by the name of the Urapottum Kavu and as it projects out into the sea, the entire sight is cherishable.
There have been efforts by the Kerala Tourism industry and the local government to beautify this place and the beach today certainly lives up to the reputation of a lovely tourist locale in this part of the world.
The entire coastal beauty seems to come alive here amidst the coffee estates and the pepper stretches which dot the regions lying in and around the Kappad beach. With the deep sea here giving great pleasures and the moss covered rocks providing ideal travel delights the Kappad beach is one place where the tourist can relax and get totally rejuvenated.
This beach which is just a short drive from Kozhikode is a lovely getaway spot for the locals here and you can enjoy the waters of the sea and bask in the sands of the beach . Go and experience the sunset here and come back completely fresh and absolutely enthralled with this lovely beach beauty in the most virgin locates of Kerala tours.
