Travel tips
- Carry cash in Indian Rupees for small vendors around Bekal Fort, as digital payment acceptance can be spotty at beach shacks.
- Keep a compact umbrella or rain shell handy since sudden showers are expected during your three-day stay.
- Dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered when visiting the Palakkunnu Kazhakam Shree Bhagavathi Temple.
- Hire local auto-rickshaws for affordable mid-range transit between the beach, fort, and temple highlights.
