Dharmadam beach - a serene destination!

An unforgettable picture!
It was not a pre-planned visit to this beach when I had to go to North Malabar last month. But I feel lucky to capture these amazing pictures of Sunset at this beautiful spot. Dharmadam (Dharmadom) beach is a must-see destination on the way from Thalassery to Kannur very close to Thalassery. No one will be disappointed visiting this amazing destination where nature is blessed with beautiful scenery everywhere!

Another fascinating photo!
The sea had receded more than the usual limit when we visited there. Such unusual phenomena were quite common along the coastal lines of Kerala after the dreadful floods recently.

The twilight scenes were a treat to the camera eyes!

Amazing capture!
There is a beach park at Dharmadam packed with a lot of activities so kids will not be disappointed visiting here. Overall, this is a very cool beach!

Dharmadom Thuruthu
A panoramic view of the famous Dharmadam island (Thuruthu) is another attraction. This is a small island filled with lush greenery surrounded by the Anjarakkandy river on its three sides and the Arabian sea on the other side.

The soil at the Dharmadam beach is not loose like other beaches and is much alike the Muzhappilangad beach, the only drive-in beach in Kerala.

No doubt Dharmadam beach is a must-see destination in North Kerala!

Arabian sea - coastline at Thalassery (Tellicherry), Kerala

These are the spectacular views of the Arabian sea from Thalassery (Tellicherry), Northern Kerala, South India.

All these pictures were taken at Overbury's folly, a viewpoint and at Sea view park, Court road, Thalassery.

Thalassery has a lot of historical importance. Being a strategic location geographically this place served as the administrative center during the British rule.




Thalassery is famous for its cuisine. Thalassery biriyani, a rice dish prepared with exotic ingredients and chicken or mutton, as the case may be, is a yummy dish.

Hermann Gundert, grandfather of Nobel laureate Herman Hesse lived in Thalassery for 20 years. He was a great scholar and authored the first dictionary in Malayalam, the native language.
William Logan, who served as district judge during the British era, wrote Logan's manual, an authoritative reference of North Malabar. Captain Edward Brennen, started the first educational Institution to give English education here and now this is known as the Government Brennen College.

The nearby Mahe was a french occupied colony in the olden days. Thalassery was nicknamed the 'Paris of Kerala', it being in close proximity to Mahe, the sole military base of France in this region.

Thalassery - a very important destination in North Kerala.
