The Jagannath temple near Thalassery was constructed by the great social reformer, Sree Narayana Guru, in 1908. Non-Brahmins perform the pooja and rituals here. Since the 1920s, it has also allowed entry to the scheduled castes, when other temples prevented them from entering even the temple compound.

Mahe is unlike Puducherry, though a former French colony, it doesn't have any French monuments or remarkable heritage sites. The Tagore Park is the only place where tourists can relax and spend some time by the seaside.
It is better to spend time in the evening to view the sunset over Arabian sea.

This church and the Thelassery fort were initially built by the French to protect their spice trade at Mahe (Pondicherry) nearby. It is a small church, located behind the Thelassery fort adjacent to the sea. Though the fort was partly destroyed during British attack and Tipu Sultan's invasion, the church wasn't affected much.

Sea facing centenary park is located in Thalasserry jus opposite to the court and the muncipal office. It is well maintained, no entry fees and it's an ideal location for a stop over on the tedious journey though this area. We can see the sea from this area and seats are provided for relaxation. A small children's park like play area is an added advantage for the kids out there. Altogether it's a good location to have fun at..
