Kappil Beach
A quiet beach about 6 km north of Bekal Fort, with a backwater behind it and a small hill for watching the sunset. Good for walks.
Kappil Beach lies near Udma, about 6 km north of Bekal. Its wide sands are rarely crowded. Behind it rises Kodi Cliff, a rocky hill where you can climb for views over the coastline and the Arabian Sea sunset, and there is a small backwater behind the dunes. Upscale resorts such as Taj are nearby. The waves are strong and there are no lifeguards, so swimming is not recommended. Focus on walking and photography. You can reach it from Bekal Fort by auto-rickshaw and combine it with the fort in the same afternoon. (Note: do not confuse it with the beach of the same name near Varkala.)
