Located about 10 kms south of Kozhikode town at the mouth of the Chaliyar River, is Beypore. Historically
i
t has a special
place as being one of the prominent ports and fishing harbours, and was also
an important trade and maritime centre during the days of the early Arab and
Chinese travelers and later the Europeans.
Soon after its prominence as a port
and trade centre, Beypore slowly began to flourish as a centre for shipbuilding,
which was in great demand by merchants from Western Asia.
The
boat-building yard at Beypore is famous for its traditional construction of
the Uru or the Arabian trading vessel. This tradition of shipbuilding is nearly
1,500 years old, and the craftsmanship of the workers here is exceptional. Traditionally,
Arabs constitute the major chunk of buyers.
It is an
amazing aspect if one is to observe the manner in which the Uru takes shape
with minimum sophistication in production.
The entire team observes certain work ethics, of which discipline is the foremost.
A visit to this historic place is a must in order to have a close look at some of the deft fingers and alert minds, measuring and fixing different parts of the ship to perfection.
Nearby attractions in Beypore include the fishing harbour, hardly a kilometer from the shipbuilding yard and Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary, which is about 7 kms from Beypore.
The Kadalundi estuary is considered as a birdwatchers paradise, due to the variety of local as well as migratory bird life.
One of the major attractions at Beypore is its magnificent 2 km long stone bridge, built entirely of stones, making a pathway into the sea.

Kadalundi Nagaram.
