There are a number of good hotels in the city, so you can spend a couple of days visiting some of the nearby attractions. Here are 6 must see tourist places around Calicut city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Kozhikode-Beach1.webp\" "\\"Kozhikode")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nImage by Athul Krishnan<\/a> via Flickr<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe city nestles on the coast of the Arabian Sea. It is about 1.2 m above sea level. The coastline extends to a length of 15 km. Two piers which are crumbling and the old lighthouse still stand recalling the times when foreign vessels used to anchor near Calicut. The Beach Hospital was built by the British. The Beach Hotel is one of the oldest in Calicut, it was mainly for the British planters to spend weekends away from the plantations. During the last few years many high-rise apartments, the stately Corporation office etc were built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you arrive in the month of January you can get a taste of various Indian cultural activities during the Malabar Mahotsavam. The important concerts and the concluding “fireworks”are held at the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viewing the Sunset is relaxing. During the monsoon, the sight is unearthly! The sea turns black, lit up by lightning flashes and the surround sound thunder! Awesome! A sunset in the monsoon is unbelievably colorful. This is one of the Tourist Places in Calicut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mananchira Square<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Mananchira-Square-1.webp\" "\\"Mananchira")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nImage by Vengolis<\/a> via Wikipedia<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis forms the heart of the city. The name comes from the large pool of clear water bound by laterite stone steps built by Manavedan Raja one of the earlier Zamorins. The park around it is tastefully kept with types of palms, trees and shrubs. Recently there is a move to adorn the city with sculptures and a number of them has come up here. There is an open air theater and a musical fountain. The view of the city from a corner of Mananchira is beautiful indeed! The spire of the Church adds to the beauty. This is another Tourist Places in Calicut<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kappad Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Kapad-at-Sunset-1.webp\" "\\"Kappad")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nDefinitely a beautiful beach about 20 km from Calicut. Its historical importance stems from the fact that Vasco da Gama with his sailors landed here in 1498 in 3 ships. This was the start of economic relationship between Europeans and this part of India now called Kerala. Quench your thirst with the nature-flavored tender coconut water which is healthful. This is one of the Tourist Places in Calicut<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0Beypore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Beypore-1.webp\" "\\"Beypore\\"")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nLocated 10 km from Calicut, is this ship-building port of Beypore. It is also one of of the busiest fishing harbors in Kerala. It was known as such centuries ago. The skilled workmen use the best of wood and build huge “Uru” for those who place orders. Even the rivets used are wooden. Their clientele were the Arabs who sailed a lot for trade. Such Urus used to be unloaded at the Calicut port using Cranes. We can see the making of an Uru and also the finished product. Miniatures can be bought from the shops around. People board ships to reach Lakshadweep from Beypore; there are cargoships also sailing from Beypore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beypore had a beautiful beach and walkway that extends deep into the sea. This is one of the Tourist Places in Calicut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
