Thikkoti Light House

 

Standing proudly amidst the coastal beauty of Kadalur near Koyilandy, the Thikkoti Lighthouse emerges as a timeless beacon of maritime history. Rising to a height of 108 feet, its elegant black and white bands paint a striking silhouette against the azure skies and turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea. 

Originally constructed to guide sailors safely through treacherous waters, the Thikkoti Lighthouse today stands as a nostalgic testament to a bygone era. While modern navigation systems have rendered many lighthouses obsolete, Thikkoti Lighthouse continues to captivate travelers with its historical charm and picturesque surroundings.

Surrounded by lush coconut and palm plantations, the lighthouse offers a serene retreat for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Adjacent to the lighthouse lies the mystic island of Velliyamkallu, adding to the enchantment with its secluded beauty. The vast expanse of the Arabian Sea stretches beyond, offering breathtaking panoramic views that are a feast for the eyes.

During winter, the shores come alive with the vibrant presence of migratory birds, creating a symphony of sights and sounds against the backdrop of the lighthouse. Nearby, Thikkoti Lighthouse beckons sea lovers with its pristine sands and inviting waves, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing dip in the sea.
