Give Beypore one night, two at most: the beach, the uru yard and the 1 km (0.6 mi) sea walk fill a half-day, and Kozhikode is 25–35 min away for beds and food.Give Beypore one night, two at most: the beach, the uru yard and the 0.6 mi (1 km) sea walk fill a half-day, and Kozhikode is 25–35 min away for beds and food.
Beypore is a working port town at the mouth of the Chaliyar, not a resort strip. Its pull is the wooden uru shipyards, the stone pier that walks about a kilometre into the sea, and Malabar food. Hotels of international standard sit in Kozhikode, not here, so most travellers sleep in the city and come out for a morning or an evening.

Getting around
No local bus service in Beypore: walk between the beach, port and yard, and use autorickshaws for anything further. Autos are metered in theory but usually quoted — agree the fare first. Taxis run on flat rates, not meters, and are only worth it for Kozhikode or the airport.

- Agree autorickshaw and taxi fares before you get in; meters are rarely used.
