Meenkunu Viewpoint

Tucked away along the coastal edge of Kannur, Meenkunnu Viewpoint is a quiet treasure that offers one of the most breathtaking ocean views in North Kerala. The name “Meenkunnu” literally translates to “hill of fish,” a nod to the nearby fishing villages that dot the shore. From the top of this natural cliff, you’re treated to panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, rolling green hills, and golden beaches stretching into the horizon. Unlike commercialized viewpoints, Meenkunnu remains raw and untouched—no flashy barricades or cafes, just pure wind, sky, and sea. It’s a favorite among locals for sunrise and sunset walks, photography, and moments of calm. Just a short drive from Payyambalam Beach, this spot is ideal for anyone looking to experience Kannur beyond the usual tourist trail. If you’re building a North Kerala itinerary, Meenkunnu Viewpoint absolutely deserves a place at the top.
