Looking for an unspoiled beach to spend the weekend? Then, head to Bekal. The white-sand beaches, around here, are inviting, undisturbed and gorgeous. The Bekal Fort {it’s the one featured in Tu Hi Re from Mani Ratnam’s Bombay} that sits on a the town’s beach affords a beautiful view of the sea. You can also skip to the nearby Kappil Beach for a slice of serenity. However, do note that Bekal is largely occupied by 5-star properties. So, if you are looking for budget accommodation you may have to settle for options in nearby Kasargod.
