Munakkal Beach is situated in Azhikode , a small village in Thrissur District , Kerala. It's around 9 km away from Kodungallur Town. The beach lies on the coast of Arabian sea , which has attractions like 400 meter open air auditorium , 1300 meter walkway , food court , skateboarding grip for children and a rain shelter. Basically , this beach was developed under the tsunami rehabilitation programme by the harbour engineering department. It's the largest beach in the Thrissur District.

As it was a weekend , there were a lot of people in the beach. The surroundings are well arranged with a lot of parking space , attractive entrance , walkways and other facilities. Fishermen were doing their work using Chinese fishing net and a lot of fishing boats can be seen in the river and the sea. Primarily , this is a estuary , where the Periyar river meets Arabian sea and offers a beautiful atmosphere. Some people were playing football , children were flying kites and families were enjoying the beauty of  nature and the sunset. I observed well to capture the moments in my frames. It's a dazzling location , and if you have passion , you can utilize well your photography skills  here.

If you are coming from Kodungallur or Thrissur side , continue on NH 7 and turn right at the junction , near to the Cheraman juma masjid. There is a sign board at the junction mentioning the St Thomas shrine road. Continue for another 7 Km to cross the Azhikode-Chamakkala road to reach the destination.
