Renai Kappad Beach Resort

GENERAL

Kappad is famous as the beach near Kozhikode (Calicut), India, where the Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama landed on May 20, 1498. His voyage established the sea route from Europe to India. This heralded the arrival and permanent route from Europe to India. A monument has been built on the beach in memory of this historic event. Kappad Beach is located at Kappad, about 18 Km from Kozhikode (Calicut). The beach is very calm with a stretch of rocks projecting into the sea. There is an 800 year old temple on this rock. This beach is locally known as Kappakadavu. Kappad is probably the cleanest in the coastal part of Kerala. The inviting Kappad beach with its fascinating rock formations on either side is perfect for the beach-lovers every impulse. Minus jarring banners and neon lit signs beckoning visitors or the usual cacophony of hawkers and the multitude of visitors, jostling for a bit of space, Kappad is thankfully laidback and undisturbed. The Renai Kappad is strategically located just 18 Kms from Calicut City, 55 Kms from Calicut Airport (Nearest Airport) and 8 Kms from Koyilandi (Nearest Railhead).
