'''Overbury's Folly''' is a seaside park with a watch tower. It is located less than a kilometer from [[Thalassery]], a [[Corporations, Municipalities and Taluks of Kerala|commercial town]] on the [[Malabar Coast]] in the [[Kannur district]], [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It is named after its builder, E.N. Overbury, who served as a local judge at Thalassery in the 1870s.<br />
<br />
In 1879, Overbury wanted to construct a picnic area at the cliff. He couldn't complete it, but the spot later earned the name "Overbury's Folly". It commands sweeping views of the [[Arabian Sea]].<br />
<br />
Today, Overbury's Folly has been renovated and redecorated as a tourist attraction. It is frequented by local people in the evenings as a place to relax and watch the sun set. A seaside open-air coffee shop has also been opened there.<br />
