Dharmadam Beach

The sea is relatively shallow at Dharmadam beach. As the Muzhappilangad beach is nearby, visitors can come to Dharmadam to enjoy the sunset after a drive there. The red stone formations offer good photo opportunities. Vehicles can be taken to Dharmadam beach also, but a drive is risky
Dharmadam Island was a small 2 hectare private island in Thalassery, Kannur District, Kerala. It lies 100 metres from the mainland at Dharmadam. This island, covered with coconut palms and dense bush is a beautiful sight from the Muzhappilangad beach. During low tide, one can walk out to it from the beach. Permission is required to land on the island. Dharmadam, known earlier as Dharmapattanam, was a Buddhist stronghold.

In 1998, Kerala Government took over this land for tourism development. Dharmadam is located 4 km from the town of Thalassery.
The view of the palm-fringed shoreline glistening under the sun is incredibly mesmerizing and soothing. You can lounge at this beach, soak in its tranquil aura and let its mystical air revitalize every nerve of your body. The most interesting thing about the beach is that it is laden with the most attractive, colorful and exotic seashells! The entire shoreline is filled with these empty seashells that wash ashore. You will be left awestruck by intricate designs, and the beautiful colors and shapes of these delightful shells and are sure to fall in love with nature's wondrous creations.
