This beach is 66 km north of Mangalore and 6 km from Udupi.
Malpe with its sheltered harbour makes a quiet beach retreat, just six
kilometres away from Udupi, the temple town, renowned for a fascinating idol
of Lord Krishna. It is a popular picnic spot due to the pristine beauty and
peaceful surrounding of its virgin beach. The endless stretch of golden
sand, swaying Palm trees, clear blue sky and the gurgle of the sea attracts
tourists to this spot. Between October - January is the best time to visit
this place. The St Mary's Island is another delightful holiday destination.
It is just a boat ride away.
Close to Malpe is Ullal, yet
another beach resort, the silvery beaches of which command breathtaking
views of the sunset, especially, when viewed through the casuarina groves.
