The name “Meenkunnu” translates to “hill of fish”. As the name implies, this is a place where a rich tradition of fishing is associated with the villages on its shores. This remote beach extends from the famous Payyambalam Beach and presents a sight full of beauty. So if one is at Payyambalam Beach and doesn’t like the crowd over there, one can easily get to this place and feel diffused in an idyllic ambiance. A cliff, clear water, glittering sand, the untouched atmosphere of a beach, people fishing right from the beach are what generally can be expected from this place. Kannur town is 14km away from this beach, which makes it easy to reach.
