BEYPORE


Beypore town is about 9.65 kms. from Kozhikode, at the mouth of the Beypore river. The place was formerly known as Vaypura and Vadaparappanad. It is one of the important ports of Kerala and naturally, an important trading centre.
Beypore is famous for its boat building yard where mammoth country crafts known as Urus are being built. It is major fishing harbour of Kerala. There are two man made extensions to the sea to facilitate easy access for fishing boats. This is an ideal place for an outing.
