VascoDaGama Pillar


Kappad is situated 16 km from Kozhikode. This is the place where Vasco de Gama set foot 500 years ago. A pillar with inscription 'Vasco de Gama' landed here, kappakkadavu in the year 1498' stands on the beach. The memorial pillar is 4 km from Thiruvangoor on the Kozhikode-Badagara route. The beach here is very calm with a stretch of rocks projecting into the sea.
