Azhi Pozhi
Azhi Pozhi is a breathtaking natural phenomenon where the river merges with the Arabian Sea. Located near Kizhur, this estuary creates a dynamic landscape that changes with the seasons. During the monsoon, the sandbar erodes, allowing a massive confluence of waters, while in summer, a beautiful bea ch strip separates the two. It is a haven for migratory birds and local fishermen who use traditional nets. The area is surrounded by lush coconut groves and offers one of the most secluded beach experiences in the district. Unlike the crowded Bekal Beach, Azhi Pozhi offers raw, untouched beauty. Visitors can witness the "Pozhi" or the opening of the sandbar, which is a significant event for the local ecology. It is a perfect spot for nature lovers looking to escape the commercial tourist trails.
