Muzhappilangad Beach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muzhappilangad Beach is a drive-in beach in the state of Kerala in southwestern India. It is located parallel to National Highway 17 between Kannur and Thalassery.
There is an unpaved road winding through coconut groves leading to the beach. The beach is about 5 km long and curves in a wide area providing a good view of Kannur on the north. Local laws allow beachgoers to drive for a full 4 km directly on the sands of the beach. The beach is bordered by black rocks, which also protect it.
Approximately 100-200 m south of the beach there is a private island called Dharmadam Island (Green Island). It is possible to walk to the island during low tide.
