If you find yourself with a spare day or two and you’re happy to travel 30 miles, take a look at Vayittiri. This lively place offers up plenty of things to keep you busy. Lakkidi View Point, Koottamundu Glass Temple and Karlad Lake alone justify the drive. The locals will also likely point you toward Kozhikode, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Kozhikode Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Beypore Beach and Thali Shiva Temple.)
