Parappalli Beach

Parappalli Beach is located around Kollam near Koyilandy in Kozhikode district, Kerala. The Kozhikode district administration describes the area as a surfing spot set against rocky hills along the coast, giving it a different character from the wider sandy beaches found elsewhere in the district. The Arabian Sea, exposed rock formations and elevated coastal edges create attractive views, especially when the light softens towards evening.

A notable landmark near the beach is Parappalli Mosque, which the district tourism information identifies as a centuries-old pilgrimage centre. This combination of coast and local heritage makes Parappalli useful for visitors who want more than a conventional beach stop. The site can be included in a north Kozhikode itinerary with Koyilandy, Thikkodi, Payyoli and other coastal attractions.

Visitors should be cautious on wet rocks and near strong surf, particularly during rough sea or monsoon conditions, and should follow local restrictions around the shoreline.
