Muzhappilangad, a shore of adventurous sport

Driving through the vast stretched seashore dividing the incoming waves in your favourite vehicle with your favourite one would be anyone’s fantasy. Wake up from your fantasizing world and experience a real ride in Muzhappilangad, the only drive-In beach in Asia. The ride through the 4 Km beach enjoying the gentle breeze is a pleasurable experience.

The wide area of beach with stiff and fine sand pave the way for smooth ride. The sand is apt for conducting driving stunts in cars, drifting and wheeling in bikes. And so, it is the favourite location of youth. Another highlight of the beach is the annual beach festival conducted in the month of April. It is conducted in collaboration with the Department of Tourism and District Tourism Promotion Council. Apart from it the beach offers an absolute platform for adventure sports like paragliding, parasailing and microlite flights.

The entire beach is shielded with black rocks which prevents the shore from heavy currents. Thus the sea is the favourite choice for those interested in swimming. It has been selected by BBC as one of the top six drive in beaches in the world.
