Bekal Beach

Kerala, India

---

Bekal Beach is a wide, scenic shoreline on the Arabian Sea in the Kasaragod district of Kerala, India, near the town of Bekal and about 16 kilometers south of Kasaragod town.

It is known for its long stretch of golden sand, clear blue waters, and a backdrop of the massive 17th‑century Bekal Fort that sits on a rocky headland overlooking the sea, giving the area both natural beauty and historic charm. The beach has a relaxed yet lively atmosphere, with a large beach park offering rides, play areas, and food stalls, making it popular with families and casual tourists rather than just hardcore beach‑goers.

Swimming can be risky due to rough currents, so most visitors come for walks, camel and horse rides, sunset views, and the mix of sea, fort, and nearby backwaters that define Bekal as one of Kerala’s major coastal destinations.
