Kodi Hill View Point

Bekal, Kerala, India
Kodi Hill View Point, often referred to as Kodi Cliff, is one of the most scenic elevations in the Bekal region. It is situated right at the edge of the Kappil Beach, providing a dramatic meeting point between the sea and the land. The "Hill" is actually a steep laterite cliff that rises abruptly f rom the shoreline. From the top, visitors get an unparalleled view of the Arabian Sea on one side and the calm backwaters of Kappil on the other. The trek to the top is relatively easy and takes about 15 to 20 minutes, making it accessible for most age groups. The summit is a flat, grassy expanse that offers plenty of space to sit and enjoy the breeze. This spot is particularly famous for its sunset, which is considered one of the best in Kerala. The elevation allows you to see the coastline stretching towards Bekal Fort in the south. The area is covered with cashew trees and wild shrubs, and during the monsoon, the entire cliff turns a brilliant shade of green. It is a popular spot for youngsters and couples who come here for the romantic ambiance and the silence. Unlike the crowded beaches, Kodi Hill remains quiet and offers a sense of solitude. The path to the hill passes through a small coastal village, giving visitors a chance to see the local lifestyle up close. It is a perfect spot for those who enjoy light adventure and want a bird's-eye view of the coastal geography.
