Kappad,
the historic beach. It is the beach where Vasco da Gama landed on the 27th
of May, 1498 with 170 men in three vessels, thus discovering a sea route
to India.
The rock studded beach is locally known as Kappakadavu. An interesting
feature of the landscape is the sprawling rock that protrudes into the
sea. The temple on the rock is believed to be 800 years old.
A solitary pillar commemorates the event with the inscription, "Vasco
da Gama landed here, Kappakadavu, in the year 1498". The sea here is
placid and seemingly untouched by history or time.
