Kannur Press

Even though Kannur has several beaches, the best sea view point is near the Kannur lighthouse. One can enjoy a romantic evening sitting in the wooden benches facing the mighty Arabian sea, watching the setting sun, or you can climb down the sea and sit on rocks, as the waves keeps splashing at you from all sides. There is a well constructed walk-way (about 300m) along the beach side, where many people come for morning & evening walks. A green lawn provides a good place for family and children to sit together talk and play. There is also an icecream parlour adjoining the lawn.

The lighthouse, painted red, is not as tall as one would imagine, but is good enough for provide a beautiful panaromic view of the Kannur city and nearby areas. After sunset the lighthouse becomes functional. Its a joy to watch the path of the rotating powerful white beam.
