The park is located near the site of the former Overbury's Folly, constructed in 1879 by Arthur Napier Overbury.
The promenade provides a direct vantage point for watching traditional fishing boats operating along the Malabar Coast.
The park is built on a rocky promontory that historically protected the Thalassery harbor.
The area is strategically positioned to capture the cooling sea breezes that mitigate the regional humidity.
The park sits adjacent to the historic Thalassery Fort area, which was established by the British East India Company.
Sea View Park in Thalassery is a prominent waterfront promenade overlooking the Arabian Sea. The park features paved walkways stretching along the coastline, designed to provide unobstructed views of the sunset. It is equipped with designated seating areas and green spaces for picnicking. The site serves as a community hub for local recreation in the Kannur district. It is situated adjacent to the Overbury's Folly, a historical cliffside observation point. The park area is maintained by the local municipal authorities to facilitate public seaside access.
