Kozhikode Beach is where the locals come to hang out and you will know exactly why when you head here. The sight of the placid waters of the sea and the relatively clean beach is a big draw not just for tourists but also the local population. Incidentally this shore has witnessed several historic events like pitched naval battles and the arrival of ships from far off areas. This is also the place that has seen several senior national leaders including the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Indira Gandhi and Krishna Menon making public speeches. What caught my eyes when I came here were the two dilapidated piers that can be seen extending into the sea.
