Muzhappilangad Beach is a unique coastal retreat offering the thrill of adventure and the serenity of nature, located just 7 km from Thalassery in Kannur, Kerala. Spanning 4 km of sandy shores along the enchanting Malabar Coast, it is the longest drive-in beach in Asia, allowing visitors to experience the joy of driving along the beach, whether on a motorbike or in a car, with the wind in their hair.
The beach's iconic black rocks shield it from strong ocean currents, creating a swimmer's paradise with calm, safe waters. These rocks also serve as a haven for migratory birds, making Muzhappilangad a hotspot for birdwatching, especially during winter when over 30 species of birds, including terns, gulls, and sandpipers, flock to its shores.
Adventure seekers can enjoy paragliding, parasailing, microlight flights, and water sports like power boating and catamaran rides. During low tide, visitors can even walk to the lush green Dharmadam Island nearby, adding to the beach's allure. The annual Muzhappilangad Beach Festival in April brings together car and bike stunt enthusiasts, cultural events, and lively crowds, making it a must-visit.
No visit to Muzhappilangad Beach is complete without savouring authentic Malabar cuisine. Local shacks serve delectable seafood dishes, including the popular blue mussel, infused with fragrant herbs, spices, and coconut milk, offering a feast for the senses. With its stunning sunsets, well-maintained facilities, and a plethora of activities, Muzhappilangad Beach ensures an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. - More Unique Destinations
