Blangad Beach
Blangad Beach is a hidden coastal treasure located near Chavakkad in the Thrissur district. Unlike the more crowded commercial beaches, Blangad offers a peaceful and pristine environment, making it a favorite among locals and solitude-seekers. The beach is characterized by its wide stretch of golde n sand, swaying coconut palms, and the rhythmic waves of the Arabian Sea. It is an ideal spot for evening strolls, where one can witness the breathtaking sunset painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The beach is also a center for local fishing activities; early morning visitors can watch the traditional fishing boats (catamarans) returning with their daily catch. A unique feature near Blangad is the Ramacham (Vetiver) farms, where the air is often filled with the earthy fragrance of this medicinal herb. The beach remains relatively untouched by large-scale tourism, preserving its natural charm and cleanliness. There is a small park and walkway for visitors to enjoy the sea breeze comfortably. For food enthusiasts, the nearby shacks offer fresh seafood prepared in the traditional Malabar style. Whether you want to indulge in a quiet picnic with family or practice landscape photography, Blangad Beach provides the perfect backdrop. Its proximity to the Guruvayur Temple makes it a convenient relaxation spot for pilgrims after their darshan.
