Beach tourism

Beach destinations are commonly sold through charters. When the proposedresort at Bekal (referred to earlier above) is ultimately in place, charter flights(possibly through Kozhikode or Mangalore airports) may perhaps have to be theroute to take to attract occupancy at least during the initial period.Beaches and associated marine areas could offer a variety of options, as may befeasible, such as swimming, boating, wind & board surfing, water skiing, parasailing, snorkeling & scuba diving and sport fishing. A comparative gradedevaluation of the potential beach areas in Kerala could be carried out and effortscould be focused on those that are appropriate for development. Many of thebeaches in Kerala are small and scope for development is limited. Nonetheless,one of the beaches that perhaps merits serious evaluation is the Muzhappilangadbeach in Kannur district, which stretches over a long length along the coast.
