Palliyamoola Beach
Palliyamoola Beach is one of the hidden gems of Kannur, often overshadowed by the more famous Payyambalam Beach. It is a quiet, pristine stretch of golden sand located just 5 kilometers from the city center. This beach is perfect for those who seek tranquility and want to avoid the typical tourist crowds. The shoreline is dotted with coconut palms and features a gentle slope into the Arabian Sea. It is a popular spot for local fishermen, and visitors can often see traditional boats being hauled onto the sand. Unlike other commercialized beaches, Palliyamoola remains largely untouched, with no permanent structures or loud music. The atmosphere here is meditative, making it ideal for morning yoga or evening walks. The proximity to Kannur town makes it an easy getaway for a quick sunset view. It is also a great place to observe the local coastal culture of the Malabar region. :
