Beypore is a coastal port in Kozhikode, one of the oldest in Kerala. Made famous by Vaikom Mohammed Basheer known as Beypore Sultan who settled here “so that his dreams became his address.” It’s where, like the migratory birds of Kadalundi, Arabs arrived and where locals smuggled themselves into “Uru” in search of greener pastures in the Gulf, an exodus which continues to date but now more by air.
There is a nominal entrance fee to get into the port. You need to ask the permission of the ship owners to board them.
