Kizhunna and Ezhara beaches Crescent shaped twin beaches of Kizhunna and Ezhara have been shaped up so by perfect natural coves. For those who wonder about nature’s magic that played up here, there is more of such magic waiting at the nearby beaches of Kadalai and Thottada. The beach hamlet of Thottada is a brilliant mix of backwaters, coconut groves and a fine sandy coast. Thottada River flows into the sea, just near the beach. Unlike many remote beaches in Kannur, Thottada beach have a few home stays, conveniently on the beach-backwater corridor. About 8 kms south of Kannur town, the beach is remote, although not too far to access.
