Two Of Kerala's Beaches Bag Blue Flag Certification

|January 16, 2025
This achievement demonstrates God's Own Country's continued dedication to promoting responsible and inclusive tourism.
Kerala's picturesque Kappad Beach in Kozhikode and the serene Chal Beach in Kannur have been honoured with the prestigious Blue Flag certification, a globally recognised eco-label awarded by the Denmark-based Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).
This certification reflects the beaches' commitment to meeting rigorous environmental, safety and sustainable tourism standards.
Kappad Beach, located in the Kozhikode district, offers an enchanting mix of history, biodiversity and natural beauty. It is famed as the landing spot of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, who arrived on May 20, 1498, marking the beginning of European trade with India.
A commemorative monument at the beach serves as a poignant reminder of this historic event.
