About Thikkodi Drive-In Beach

Thikkodi Drive-In Beach is a coastal attraction near Koyilandy in Kozhikode district, around the Thikkodi area of Kerala's Malabar Coast. Kerala Tourism describes Thikkodi Beach as having a firm shoreline that gave it a drive-in beach character, making it distinctive among the district's seaside destinations. The long horizon, sea breeze and comparatively open coastal setting are the main reasons to visit.

The beach also fits naturally into a wider north Kozhikode route. Kadalur Point Lighthouse, Payyoli Beach, Velliyamkallu and Koyilandy are all part of the same coastal belt, allowing travellers to combine scenery, heritage and local food stops in one outing. Although the beach is known for drive-in style access, actual vehicle access can change with tides, sand conditions, erosion, weather or local rules.

Visitors should therefore follow current on-site instructions rather than assume the beach is always suitable for driving. Sunset and quieter daytime visits are especially rewarding when sea conditions are calm.
