From the city of Kozhikode, Kappad Beach is around one hour drive. It's the place where Vasco da Gama landed in 1498. A beautiful clean beach it is. The sound of the waves keeps makes sweet music. The best time to visit it is obviously at the time of the sunset. The beach has very little plastic pollution. We arrived there on a rainy evening and so could witness the sun through the clouds only.
If you are visiting Kerala don't miss the chance of visiting this serene beach.
