It is the beach which is described in Thakazhi's novel "Chemeen". HistoryThe literal meaning of Purakkad is "out of forest".[1] The village of Purakkad was the scene of battles between Travancore and Kochin forces in 1754 AD and between Travancore and Zamorin forces in 1756 AD. There was an ancient port at Purakkad. The Dutch East India Company had a factory at that time. A crucifix was presented by Dutch seafarers who landed on Purakkad beach when their ship was lost at sea in a terrible storm. The crucifix has never been repaired since all these years. Now the church housing the crucifix faces demolition threat because of road widening plans.{{reference needed|date=February 2019}} Demographics{{As of|2001}} India census, Purakkad has a population of 27912 with 13751 males and 14161 females.
