For those who prefer Thoreau to Harold Robbins, the secluded and relatively unexplored Kappil Beach should prove idyllic. This sun-drenched beach is a perfect getaway after a hectic tour of the nearby Bekal Fort, some six kms away.

Adventurous souls can even ascend the nearby Kodi cliff to get a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea.

Getting there:

Nearest Railway Station : Kasaragod, about 12 km

Nearest Airport : Mangalore, about 50 km from Kasaragod town; Karipur International Airport, Kozhikode, about 200 km from Kasaragod town.
