Destination guide

About Thottada Beach

Thottada Beach is a tranquil coastal destination in Thottada, Kannur district, Kerala. Kerala Tourism describes the beach as a place valued for cleanliness, solitude and calm surroundings, with coconut palms and rocky features adding character to the shoreline. The destination is especially suitable for travellers who want a quieter alternative to more crowded beaches and prefer long coastal views, relaxed walks and photography.

Thottada lies on the Kannur–Thalassery side of the district, so it can fit naturally into an itinerary linking the two towns and nearby attractions. Visitors should remember that an attractive beach is not automatically a safe swimming beach; currents and wave conditions can change quickly, especially during the monsoon. Checking local conditions and keeping away from rough water is important.

Early morning and late afternoon generally offer comfortable light and a more relaxed coastal atmosphere.
