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.
