Valiyaparamba Grama Panchayat, Gram panchayat in Kasaragod district, India
Valiyaparamba is a gram panchayat along the coast of Kasaragod district that runs as a narrow strip facing the Arabian Sea. The landscape is dominated by water, with the ocean on one side and lagoons nearby.
The panchayat developed as part of Kasaragod's coastal settlement pattern, shaped by trade routes and maritime activity over centuries. It became established as an administrative unit within the modern governance structure of Kerala.
The area reflects a blend of Kannada and Malayalam cultural practices since it straddles the border between two states. This cultural mix appears in local festivals, food preferences, and the architectural styles of everyday buildings.
The area operates under coastal regulations that restrict certain construction and development activities near water bodies. Visitors should be aware that access to some parts of the shoreline may be limited.
Though surrounded by the Arabian Sea and lagoons, it remains connected to mainland through its southern link to Ezhimala. This geographic quirk makes it a rare coastal formation rather than an isolated island.
