Koyilandy
Spend a half‑day in Koyilandy for a beach walk and temple visit; stay only if you need a quiet base between Kozhikode and Kannur.
Koyilandy is a sleepy coastal town in Kerala with a handful of temples, a historic beach and nearby dams. Its attractions fit into a few hours, so one day (or a half‑day as a stopover) is enough.
