Manapad is famous for its cross in the beach, which has happened in 14th century. In 1540, a Portuguese ship caught in wild storm, while sailing. The captain of that ship prayed the god to save them from the broken mast. As they escaped from the danger, he builds a cross for thanking the god. After few years St Xavier came to Manapad for his missionary activities and built the shrine at the same place, where the cross was built but by the captain.
