Meenkunnu Beach, located near Azhikode in Kannur, is one of Kerala’s most serene and less-explored beaches. Unlike the more crowded tourist spots, Meenkunnu offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere, making it perfect for those who want to relax away from the hustle and bustle. The golden sandy stretch, bordered by coconut palms and gentle waves, creates a postcard-like setting ideal for evening walks or simply sitting and enjoying the sea breeze.
The beach is famous for its unspoiled beauty. Since it is not overly commercialized, visitors can experience nature in its raw form. The sounds of the waves, the sight of fishermen at work, and the stunning sunset views add to its charm. Photographers and nature lovers will particularly enjoy the tranquil environment.
However, being less developed also means there are limited facilities nearby. There are not many shops or eateries around, so it’s best to carry your own refreshments. Swimming is possible, but with caution, as lifeguards are not always present.
Overall, Meenkunnu Beach is a hidden gem in Kannur, perfect for solitude seekers, couples, and families who prefer calmness over crowds. It is an ideal destination to unwind, watch nature’s beauty, and experience Kerala’s coastal charm...
