If you have a bit of extra time and you’re happy to travel 30 miles, check out Kozhikode. This vibrant destination offers loads of things to keep you busy. Kozhikode Beach should be high up on your list here. Beypore Beach and Thali Shiva Temple are fantastic attractions too. Locals will also likely point you toward Kannur, 45 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Payyambalam Beach. (But we’re also huge fans of Arakkal Museum and Meenkunnu Beach.)
