Kannur
Travel Guide

With
the Lakshadweep sea in the west, the Western Ghats in the east, and the Kozhikode
and Wayanad districts in the south, Kannur is bounded by a wealth of natural beauty.
The district itself, which shares much of this natural splendour, has been a key
contributor to the cultural, religious, political and industrial heritage of the
state. In addition, Kannur also enjoys the credit of having been the cradle of
many a colourful folk art and folk music. Some of the popular beaches here are:
Dharmadam Island (Beach) : The small 5 acre island covered
with coconut palms and green bushes is a beautiful sight from the beach. Permission
is required to enter this privately owned island (100 metres away from the mainland
at Dharmadam)
Kizhunna Ezhara (Beach) This beautiful stretch
of sand is one of the most secluded beaches in Kerala (11 km from Kannur).
Payyambalam (Beach) The long, secluded beach is a local picnic
spot (2 km from Kannur)
Ezhimala (Beach) The beautiful beach
here has a hillock nearby (286 M high). A Naval Academy is being developed here.
Aqua-Tourism is one of the most important constituent of Kerala.
Aqua-Tourism in Kerala can be broadly classified into three Zones of Kerala.
