Thalasseri
is one of Kerala's many major towns lining the Malabar Coast.
Its major attraction is its Fort, next to the coast, pleasant
to stroll around in; some wacky echoes can be produced in
one of the old concrete bunkers. Right next to it is an old
overgrown Christian cemetery with old grave stones - great
for people who like this kind of thing. The beach is not somewhere
you'd like to sun bathe or swim in the sea. It's packed with
ram shackle huts, fishing boats, "public toilet stuff",
a bit further along an "authentic" non-upmarket
fish market.
