Beypore is located south of Kozhikode town. Beypore has been known as being one of the prominent ports and fishing harbors, and was also an important trade and maritime center during the days of the early Arab and Chinese travelers and later the European companies. Soon after its importance as a port and trade center, Beypore slowly began to flourish as a center for shipbuilding, which was in great demand by merchants coming from West Asia. The boat-building yard at Beypore is famous for its traditional construction of the Uru (the Arabian trading vessel). At Beypore, the tradition of shipbuilding is nearly 1,500 years old, and the craftsmanship of the workers here is extraordinary.

Nearby attractions in Beypore include the fishing harbor, barely a kilometer from the shipbuilding yard and Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary, which is about 7 km from Beypore. The Kadalundi estuary is considered as a birdwatchers paradise, as a variety of local as well as migratory bird life can be spotted here. Migratory birds flock here in large numbers during the month of February-March. You can have a nice time at the not so crowded and beautiful beach at Beypore.
