Dharmadam Island

Dharmadam Island in Kannur is surrounded by green coconut palms and wild bushes. It is only 100 meters from Dharmadam, which is between Kannur and Thalassery. Thalassery town, just 4 kilometers away, can be seen from the island.

The island formed naturally, a result of lateritic rock projecting between two arms of the Anjarakkandy River and the sea. During low tide, visitors can walk to the island as the ocean recedes, creating a pathway. These walks, with water levels less than knee-deep, make this island unique among Kannur’s beachside destinations. However, it’s crucial to be vigilant and return before the tides become stronger.

Alternatively, you can reach the island by taking a boat from the south end of the nearby Moidu Bridge along the Kannur-Thalassery highway. There’s a well nearby, but do not be confused-the island is uninhabited. Covering 5 acres, this spot is also rich in medicinal plants and herbs. Given its lush greenery, it’s aptly nicknamed the ‘Green Island’.
