'''Kozhikode Beach''' is a [[beach]] on the western side of [[Kozhikode]], situated on the [[Malabar Coast]] of [[India]]. The beach is accessible through four road overbridges in the city. The beach has paved stones and illumination. There is one Lions Park for the children and an aquarium. Kozhikode Beach has always been a prominent place for conducting public meetings. The beach road was renamed 'Gandhi Road' in 1934 after [[Gandhi]] visited Kozhikode in 1934.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Story of the streets|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/kozhikode-street-names/article6621905.ece|work=The Hindu|date=2014-11-21|access-date=2025-11-28|issn=0971-751X|language=en-IN}}</ref><br />
