Vacation Rental Description
Malabar Cove Beach House accommodation is located in Kannur, North Kerala.
Set on a small peninsular by the Arabian Sea, the nearest road is a few minutes walk through a coconut grove, passing village houses along the way. The neighbours greet you with friendly smiles and the kids shout “hi” and giggle.
To one side of the peninsular a small river flows into the sea. At low tide it is possible to walk through the river to the famous Drive-in-Beach of Muzhapilangad. This is a four kilometre beach where it is possible to drive the whole length, skimming the waves.

Owner Location Comment
Malabar Cove in Kannur, North Kerala is a perfect hideaway.
Foreign tourists are few and the area is very natural and green.
Malabar Cove has a view over water almost like an island.
There is a narrow river to the south which divides Malabar Cove from the famous Drive-in Beach.
The river flows into the Arabian Sea and is a wonderful spot to watch the local fishermen as they navigate to the sea each day in their colourful canoe like boats.
The surroundings are village houses with local people going about their daily work.
Coconuts are harvested and ladies bash washing on their 'house rocks'.
