I’ll admit it—this was my first time visiting Kizhunna Beach in Kannur. And honestly? I’m a bit embarrassed to say that. Friends from my college days used to urge me to visit this place, but somehow I never made the trip—until now.

The plan wasn’t even centered around the beach. I happened to be in Kannur for something else and decided to make a quick detour with my friend and brother. We stopped by Haris Beach Resort, a spot I’d seen before but never fully experienced. This time, we decided to check it out properly.

This Time Was Different

Unlike my earlier visit—where I had just dropped in quickly to meet some friends and left in a hurry—this time I actually got to soak in the place. We kicked off our shoes, walked barefoot through the clean sands, and stood there for a while, just taking it all in.

The beach was quiet, clean, and surprisingly peaceful. It felt like one of those rare places that hasn’t been overrun by crowds yet.

Simple Moments, Lasting Memories

The timing was perfect—just around sunset. The sky was soft and golden, the breeze was gentle, and there was something almost cinematic about the moment. These are the kind of unplanned memories that stick with you.

I also discovered that there are a few more resorts and stay options nearby—something I hadn’t realized before. The whole stretch near Kizhunna and Thottada seems like a quietly evolving travel zone, with charm still intact.
