Thikkodi Drive-In Beach, Kerala

If plans come to fruition, Thikkodi beach near Kozhikode will soon join Muzhappilangad as a drive-in beach attracting plenty of motorists and tourists to its beautiful shores. Awaiting Kerala tourism department nod, preparatory works for the project have already started at the beach and a detailed project report is expected in a month or so.
The plan is to introduce all facilities required for a drive-in beach at Thikkodi using government land. Encroachment of government land in the area is expected to be evicted upon realizing the project, media reports say.
One of the many unexplored beaches along Kerala’s rich seashore, Thikkodi beach meets all the requirements for the drive-in beach project. If developed it would be a much sought after tourism destination, according to P G Rajeev, secretary of Kozhikode District Tourism Promotion Council. The beach is very close to Velliyamkallu, another tourist destination where the main attraction is the natural engravings on the rocks.
