The Chavakkad Estuary

The Chavakkad Azhimukham ( Estuary ), where the Chettuva River meets the sea, is a lovely spot to watch.

The Chavakkad beach is only 2 kms from Chavakkad. We have a 6 km road almost along the beach which goes to Munakkal. There is a fish landing harbour at Munakkal, on the shores of the Munakkal river. We can see Chettuva on the other side of the river. 2 kms furthur, again along the road near the 8 km coastline, we reach the Azhimukham, where the river meets the sea !

On the eastern side we can see the Engandiyur Fish Landing Hourbour. The place is undeveloped and some tourism projects may come over there. Full of coconut trees and with a great green ambience, Azhimukham is a great spot to behold.

The Tourism Ministry has plans to beautify four beaches- Fort Kochi, Cherai, Munambam and Munakkal at a cost of 8 crores.
