The Stone Memorial for Vasco de Gama stands tall in honor of the Portugese explorer who landed on Indian soil in 1498 at Kappad Beach along with 170 Portugese sailors.
The inscription on the stone memorial reads: "Vasco DA Gama landed here, Kappakadavu, in the year 1498." He is deserving of such an honor as his expeditions paved the way for a sea route that was used by the Europeans to reach the wealth that the Malabar Coast possessed. This resulted in European domination for close to 400 years. It is the highlight of the Kappad Beach.
