Introduction

The quaint Mahe Beach bordered by a luxuriant crop of swaying palms, is about 22 kilometers (13.75 miles) to the south of Kannur, on the northern strip of coastal Kerala. Speckled with pretty fishing hamlets, the Mahe Beach opens up a stunning vista of silvery white sands crowded by lush palms, and the aqua blue sea merging with the distant horizon. The beach, since time immemorial, has been a favorite haunt of sun-worshippers and honeymooners who have found paradise in its miles of silvery sand. If you are arriving from Calicut, then you will find this beach approx. 75 kilometers (47 miles) to the north of the town.
 
Dramatically cloistered by palm groves, the beach is ideal for a saunter on a laidback day, and watching the sun slowly sink into the sea at dusk. And if you take to water sports, carry along the requisite equipment or enjoy a game of beach volleyball and such like.

After a day of sunbathing at Mahe, head to one of the beachside cafes or restaurants. They serve an assortment of delicious snacks and deep sea delights. A half day trip to this lovely little beach tucked away amidst copious greenery is most definitely worth considering.
