About 6 kms. from Udupi and 386 km from Bangalore , is the natural harbor of Malpe , situated at mouth of river Malpe. Malpe famed fro its silvery beaches that offer breathtaking views of the sea. It is an important fishing center on Karnataka's coastline and is famous for its scenic beauty. Other attractions at this enchanting beach are, the island of Darya Bahadurgarh across the bay, the Balarama Temple and Malpe's oldest tile factory, set up by the Basel Mission.
This beach is quite different. It's a long, broad, town beach, undeveloped but likely to grow when a large beach-hotel, under construction, is completed. It has the best restaurants available in the famed area. A short drive from an Udupi restaurant in the town brings us to the fishing harbor where one can board a tourist ferry. Chugging across a bay, towing a speedboat behind us. Heading for the uninhabited St. Mary's Island, when the ferry anchors offshore, one can climb into the speedboat, beached on the island, and can hop ashore. Its unique rocks are black and thrust up out of the golden sand like stacked Turkish cigarettes as defiantly dramatic as they are ancient. This is neither swimming nor a strolling beach. It's a beach to be gazed and wondered at; and it's the only one of its kind in India. |
