When you go west from Big Bazaar near the railway station, you reach the beach within one kilometre and you can turn north towards the Lions Children’s park and the North Beach Walk begins. The beach behind this park is very crowded and you have to move at least one km to the north to reach less crowded and peaceful beaches. The next landmarks are Puthiya Kadavu, Bhatt Road, Thoppayil, Konadu and the Fisheries office. Further north are the Vellayil police station, Koya Road, Puithyappa, Radio Mango, Vengaly and finally the little riverside village of Elathur. Vallikkattu Kavu is a 27 acre sacred grove in a swamp at Edakkara near Elathur. You can see monkeys, peacocks, wild boars, porcupines, wild hens, different kinds of butterflies and numerous species of orchids here. There is a species of herb here which has leaves in the shape of butterflies. ...................................................................................................................

The government guest house, the rest house and the engineering college are in this area. The big junction is called ‘West Hill Chungam’ where you have two restaurants—one is the US Pizza and the other is the ethnic Thalassery restaurant. When you turn left from the junction, you enter the Bhatt road leading to the beach. This junction also has an IAS Academy, an IIKM college and a Christian college office.
