Being from Thalassery, I’ve visited this fort many times, and it still feels special every single time. It’s a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the sea breeze, especially on cloudy days. The view of the Arabian Sea from the fort walls is beautiful, and the calm atmosphere makes it a perfect place to relax and feel the essence of Thalassery. However, the authorities could improve a few things to make the experience even better. Cleanliness needs more attention, and toilet facilities should be arranged nearby — though I understand new constructions might affect the old structure of the fort. Proper lighting would also make a big difference; a few existing lights seem non-functional. Some of the benches are broken or rusted and need replacement to make the seating areas more comfortable and safe for visitors. There’s also an old abandoned building inside that could be renovated and turned into a small museum — that would surely attract more visitors and preserve the history better. Currently, the fort is closed by around 5:30 or 6 PM, but its real charm is in the evening when the sea breeze and calm surroundings create a magical mood. If the authorities could safely extend visiting hours and improve the facilities without disturbing the heritage structure, this place could become one of the finest heritage attractions in North Kerala.

Entry fees : No Time to visit : 20 mins It was established by the British to guard their trading activities. You can have good view of lighthouse and nearby church from here. No entry to Lighthouse. I feel close time can later and toilet can be improved.

Amazing fort with rich heritage which is built by Britishers in 1708. The walls and everything looks rock solid, with nice greenery around with big trees and you can enjoy the beach view, with pleasant bliss. Heard from friends, there's a secret sorangam which is closed now. Don't miss the sunset view, definitely you will love it.

A big and elegant fort! Its 10m territory wall is mesmerizingly beautiful 😍. As other main historical places,it too lacks maintenance.

Thalassery Fort is a nice spot to spend a peaceful and calm evening. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, with great ambiance and a beautiful view of the sea — making it ideal for unwinding or just enjoying the coastal breeze. There isn’t much in the way of historical details or guided information, so don’t expect an in-depth heritage experience. Still, the place is well-maintained and pleasant for a short visit. One good thing is that there’s no entry fee, and they’ve even provided a water purifier for visitors, which is a thoughtful touch.

A Well-Preserved Slice of History with Stunning Views. A fantastic place to spend an hour or two soaking in the history of Thalassery. The fort is beautifully maintained by the ASI, with clean grounds and impressive architecture. The highlight is undoubtedly the panoramic view of the Arabian Sea from the ramparts and the lighthouse absolutely breathtaking. It's a peaceful spot, perfect for a quiet walk and some great photos. Lack of detailed information boards inside. While the fort is fascinating to explore, a bit more historical context on-site would have made the experience even more enriching. Still, it's a definite must-visit if you're in the area
