Kannur
Kannur is North Kerala's coastal city of laterite forts, long beaches, and Theyyam ritual seasons. Travelers come for St. Angelo Fort above the Arabian Sea, the quiet stretch of Payyambalam Beach, and the drive-in sand at Muzhappilangad. Mappila Bay's fishing harbour and the Arakkal Museum add coastal history without a heavy city feel. Inland villages host Theyyam performances in temple seasons, which many visitors plan their trip around. Kannur suits beach days, fort walks, and a slower Malabar pace than Kochi or Kozhikode.
