Thottada Beach, Coastal beach in Kannur district, Kerala, India
The 800-meter stretch of golden sand at Thottada Beach meets the blue waters of the Arabian Sea along Kerala's northern coastline.
The construction of a dam across Thottada River three decades ago prevented the mixing of fresh and salt water, altering the local ecosystem.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices, launching their wooden boats directly from the shore each morning to catch fish in the Arabian Sea.
The beach is accessible via a 2.5-kilometer road from National Highway 66, connecting the major towns of Kannur and Thalassery in northern Kerala.
The Thottada River flows into one end of Edakkad Beach, creating natural swamps that attract numerous bird species throughout the year.
