Kappad, or Kappakadavu, as it is locally known, is the place where Vasco de Gama landed in India in the 15th century. Even today, it has a beautiful beach and attracts tourists who like to enjoy history along with a beach vacation. Swaying coconut trees and rock formations add to the allure of this area. You can access the beach by cruising through the backwaters, a path that will take you through scenic fishing villages and rural life in Kerala. This will be a truly enjoyable experience. You can also venture into the Main Bazaar area to pick up gifts or stop by one of the eateries on Mittai Theruvu to taste Kerala’s famous banana chips. To get the best out of a beach vacation, you may want to stay close to the sea. If so, read on for a list of the top beach resorts near Kappad, India.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to beach. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 23, 2024.
