Located
at the mouth of the Chaliyar River in Kozhikode district, Beypore, one
of the prominent ports and fishing harbours of ancient Kerala was an important
trade and maritime centre. Ancient Beypore was much sought after by merchants
from Western Asia, for its ship building industry. The boat building yard
here is famous for the construction of the Uru, the traditional Arabian
trading vessel.
The Beypore Beach has a bridge built nearly
2 kms into the sea. It is actually made up of huge stones piled together
for nearly 2 kms making a pathway into the sea.
