Location:
16 kms from Kozhikode, Kerala
Commonly Known as: Kappakadavu
Main Attraction: A Sprawling Rock that Protrudes into the
Sea
Significance: Vasco da Gama landed here in 1498
The beach, 16 km from Kozhikode, stranded on the shore of
history with the landing of Vasco Da Gama on 27th of
May, 1498.
Even
after 500 years of the epoch-making mooring of the maverick
navigator, Kappad remains calm, as if cataclysmic changes
had just scrubbed around this spot. The beach,
strewn with country fishing boats, is still in pristine
beauty. The shore, bereft of concrete monstrosities, is in
perfect silence ever since Gama left for other destinations.
