There are some beaches, nestled far away from the hustles and bustles of cities; pristine, untouched and serene. These are where you get to enjoy the slow pace of life, lying down, relaxing and rejuvenating. Such beaches are rare, but in Kozhikode, not very hard to find. Welcome to Payyoli Beach, a shore blessed with golden sands, palm trees and a calming atmosphere that lets you enjoy the best of the waves, happily.
Payyoli beach tempts every beach lover with its shallow waters that border “Velliyamkallu” – a rocky island located in the sea. The sea is calm here and makes up for a perfect venue for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Not to forget the games that you can play on the shore. The coconut palms form a perfect backdrop, bestowing the shore with an amazing view.
During the months of November and December, you get to see the endangered Olive Ridley Turtles visiting the shore to lay eggs. You can also visit “Theeram”, the conservation centre for these turtles operated by local fishermen. Thikkodi Lighthouse is another attraction nearby. You can also visit the Moorad river where you can spot a number of domestic and migratory birds. In short, Payyoli is indeed a perfect vacation destination.
