Beypore Beach

Beypore Beach is a coastal attraction located at the mouth of the Chaliyar River in Beypore, Kozhikode District, Kerala. Historically a prominent port and centre for traditional Uru wooden shipbuilding, it is known for its long Pulimuttu stone causeway extending into the Arabian Sea. The beach offers sandy shores, views of fishing activity, and sunset vistas, combining natural coastal scenery with maritime heritage near Kozhikode city.

Visitors can expect a sandy beach at the confluence of the Chaliyar River and the Arabian Sea with an open shoreline, fishing boats and a 1 km long Pulimuttu stone walkway extending into the sea. The area includes views of the coastline, traditional boat-building yards nearby, food stalls and seating areas along the shore. It is primarily a place for leisure walks, photography and sunset viewing rather than organized water sports.

Beypore was an ancient port town on the Malabar Coast with maritime trade links to the Middle East dating back over a millennium. It is renowned for its traditional Uru (dhow) shipbuilding craft, handmade by local Khalasis, a tradition said to be over 1,500 years old and historically patronized by Arab traders.

The beach area reflects the maritime culture of the Malabar Coast, including the living heritage of Uru shipbuilding, fishing communities and the Chaliyar River estuary traditions. The Pulimuttu walkway and harbour are central to local community life and coastal identity.
