Beypore beach - Kerala


Bypore beach is10 km south of Kozhikode, located at the mouth of chliyar river. Ancient beypore was much sought after by the merchants from Western Asia for the ship building industry. The boat building yard here is famous for the construction of the uru(the traditional arabian trading vessel). The tradition of shipbuilding here is nearly 1,500 years old and particularly the craftsmanship of the workers here is exceptional.
