Muzhappilangad is arguably the most famous attraction near Thalassery, globally renowned as Asia’s longest drive-in beach. The firm, wet sand allows visitors to drive their vehicles—cars, bikes, and jeeps—safely for nearly 4 kilometers along the coastline. This unique experience attracts thrill-seekers and tourists from all over. The beach is naturally protected by black rocks, creating a shallow pool ideal for swimming and is also a significant spot for local festivals and kite flying. Its unique feature of driving on the beach makes it a compulsory stop for visitors to the Malabar Coast.
