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.
