Meenkunnu Chal Beach

Meenkunnu Chal Beach is a coastal attraction at Azhikode in Kannur district, Kerala, around the northern side of Kannur city. The beach is closely linked with a local fishing hamlet, so visitors can experience a working coastal landscape rather than only a resort-style seafront. DTPC Kannur describes Meenkunnu Chal as relatively quiet and less crowded than Payyambalam, with sun, sand and sea remaining the central appeal.

Walkways and benches provide places to pause near the shore, and a children's park adds a family-friendly element. Light refreshments are also associated with the beach area, making it convenient for an evening outing. Sunset is one of the most attractive times to experience the open Arabian Sea horizon and the slower pace of the Azhikode coast.

For travellers exploring beaches in Kannur, Meenkunnu Chal provides a useful mix of local fishing culture, simple visitor facilities and peaceful coastal scenery.
