Bekal Fort - History details

Bekal Fort in Kasaragod (built c.1650 by Shivappa Nayaka) is Kerala’s largest fort (~40 acres). Its keyhole plan, sea‑facing bastions, water tank and observation tower reflect coastal defence design later used by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. Panoramic views sweep across Bekal Beach and the North Malabar coast.
