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

Ezhimala (Beach)
The beautiful beach here has a hillock nearby (286 M high). A Naval
Academy is being developed here.

important constituent of Kerala.
