This mangrove forest is a small bird sanctuary, located in the heart of the town behind the High Court of Kerala. It was declared a protected area on 31st August 2004. Managalavanam has a shallow tidal pond covered by dense mangrove growth around its periphery. The mangroves serve as a shelter for birds both resident and migratory. The area under protection is an extent of 2.74 ha. The place is of great significance since the mangrove trees and the birds that flock this place play an important role in stabilizing the land along the coast.
