KANNUR

Kannur, formerly known as Cannanore, is 65 kms from Nileshwar. It was our next halt in North Kerala. We reached the hotel on Baby beach in the Cantonment area when the sun was about to set. After my wife checked the hotel and checked in, I dashed out of the car to the park in the hotel overlooking the sea to capture the sunset in my camera. It was a breathtaking view: the sun setting and the light from the light house glowing.
The next day at 6am we visited Payambalam: the largest and most beautiful beach in Kerala, which is just one km from Baby beach. After breakfast, we drove through Muzhappilangad Beach, the only drive-in beach in Kerala which stretches over a distance of 5 kms. The sand on the beach is so hard that you can easily drive on it. On one side is the sea, and on the other side coconut groves.
