Thalassery was once the center of military center of British. Thalassery Fort, located at a distance of 22 km from Kannur constructed in 1708 AD held special significance for the British.
In 1708 AD, when the British East India Company established its settlement on the Malabar Coast, they built the Thalaserry Fort, as a testimonial to their colonial imperialism.
The square fort, with its massive walls, secret tunnels to the sea and intricately carved huge doors, is an imposing structure. The fort was once the nucleus of Thalaserry's development.
Now this fort is a tourist attraction for visitors to Kannur
Muzhapilangad Beach is located at a distance of 8 km from Thalasseri. Black rocks protect this long, clean beach from the currents of the deep, making its shallow waters a swimmer's paradise. The palm groves fringing the beach is a cool hideaway from the tropical sun. Perhaps this is Kerala's only drive-in beach where you can drive down the entire length of 4 km.
