dear viewers,
this beach will be the best beach in the world within 5 years provided the rulers will show pragmatic approach for tourism developments . very near top this place there is a place called dharmadam . from there u can have a house boat journey upto mattannure 18 km away. if this river is properly utilised it will earn crores of foreign exchange. this river side has historical background. u can visit parappuram ,where the 1st meeting of communist party was held , at peralasseri u can visit tghe house of AKG the leader of working class, the palace of pazhassiraja is aldo nearby. the best seneric views will bring lakhs of tourist in the coming years. but our tourism minister shall have the guts to invest money at his hometown.
