Kappad Beach
The
beach, 16 km from Kozhikode, stranded on the shore of history with the landing
of Vasco Da Gama on 27th of May, 1498.
Even after 500 years of the epoch-making mooring of the maverick navigator,
Kappad remains calm, as if cataclysmic changes had just scrubbed around this
spot. The beach, strewn with country fishing boats, is still in pristine beauty.
The shore, bereft of concrete monstrosities, is in perfect silence ever since
Gama left for other destinations.
