Dharmadam Island

Small palm-fringed islet off Dharmadam, walkable at low tide and visible from Muzhappilangad Beach.

Dharmadam Island, also called Green Island or Pachathuruth, is a small palm-covered islet of about 2 hectares off Dharmadam Beach, roughly 4 km from Thalassery town. It sits about 100 metres from the mainland and is a clear landmark from Muzhappilangad Beach. At low tide many visitors walk across the shallow stretch; boats also leave from near Moidu Bridge on the Kannur-Thalassery road. The island is privately controlled, so landing usually needs prior permission. Check local tide tables and return before the water rises.

  • How to Reach: About 4 km from Thalassery toward Kannur at Dharmadam. Walk from Dharmadam Beach only at low tide, or take a boat from the south end of Moidu Bridge.
