Fishing harbour and the old Arakkal Kingdom in the far

Mappila Bay (sometimes called Moppila Bay) is a natural and now a modernised fishing harbour situated in Ayikkara near St. Angelo Fort in Kannur district, Kerala state of south India. A sea wall extending to a huge height, projecting from the fort separates the rough sea and inland water. This sea wall was built under the Indo Norwegian pact.

The remnants of the temple & fort are still seen in Mappila bay. The bay was famous during the Kolathiri's regime as a commercial harbour that linked Kolathunadu with Lakshadweep and foreign countries, in imports.

The famous Arakkal Kingdom is near this bay.
