A quiet golden beach at Azhikode, north of Kannur, with coconut palms and a laid-back fishing-village feel.
Meenkunnu, near Azhikode, is a long, uncrowded beach backed by coconut groves. It is a good place for a quiet sunset, and a small hillock at the northern end gives a view of the coast. Swimming should be attempted only with care.
Best time
