Mussel
Farming
It
is spread over 30km long in back water and engaged about 6000
farmers. In the year 2008-09 the total production was 20000
tonnes. Collection of clam and Oyster are worth watching.
Mangrove
Island
This
is an island situated about 4 km from Oyster Opera. This island
plays an important role in the eco-system by sustaining and
balancing the water bodies of our backwaters. They do this through
mainly by the abundant mangroves living there. They grow with
their roots on top of the water. This is the breeding place
of fishes.
Monkey
Island
This
island is situated 5 km from Oyster Opera. A long time before
a couple of monkeys migrated here and since then they were being
treated as kings and gods by the islanders. There is a small
Temple inside the jungle. Now 200 of them live in a small jungle
and are being fed by one family daily. They believe their prosperity
lies on the blessings of these monkeys.
Sandwich
beach.
This
is a very pretty and unexploited beach 14 km away from the resort.
The width of this island is only 40mtr, one side ocean and the
other side backwater. We also make arrangements for camping
at this beach. The beach is almost vacant all the time as no
one lives nearby and is free of tourists as this beach hasn’t
yet come to the tourist map.
Deserted
Island
This
island doesn’t contain any dwellers. This island thickened with
coconut trees was once before the hide outs of our great freedom
fighters from the Britishers.
Estuary
This
man made estuary has a story to tell. The islanders themselves
created the estuary to flush out the excess water to the sea
from their fields being flooded by monsoon. But they didn't
know that the high tide would push the water back many fold
and take away their paddy fields .
Valiyamparamba
Beach
The
nearby beach is only 500mtr away from the resort having 24 km
long with beautiful scenario, birds sanctuary, estuary and so
on.
