Chithari Beach

Green, impressive, and pristine, Chithari is still a virgin and an unexplored destination. Chithari Beach is situated at 5 km from Kanhangad in the Kasaragod district of Kerala. The island is accessible only by boat and wooden canoes that belong to the local people. A part of the Bekal Tourism Project, this backwater area possesses all the features to make it a great tourist destination. The biggest fort in the state of Kerala, Bekal Fort, which stands on the borders of the region, is a highlight of the visit to this vast beach of gleaming and white sandy shores. A small tropical island and the emerald lagoon are other nearby attractions beautifying the existence of this nature's abode.

Chithari Beach is a perfect destination for those who love peaceful vacations, away from the crowds of urban centers. Still untouched and unexplored by the world, this place witnesses lesser tourists, giving you the perfect locale for relaxation in the laps of peacefulness and tranquility. But with the ever increasing popularity, this beach is likely to be placed amongst the top tourist destinations in Kerala. Chithari Beach can be reached via any of the two airports close by. The nearest is Mangalore International Airport, about 50 km, while the other is Kozhikode International Airport at Karipur, about 200 km away. Alternatively, this secluded yet beautiful place is accessible through rail as well. The nearest railhead is at Kanhangad, about 5 km from Chithari Beach.
