The pristine beauty and peaceful surroundings of Malpe Beach, about 6 km from Udupi, is one of the most popular picnic spots of Karnataka. The endless stretch of golden sand, the clear blue sky and the gurgle of the sea - all set the perfect mood for an unforgettable getaway that comes with facilities for boating, fishing and bathing. The natural harbour of Malpe river is an important fishing centre. Just a boat ride away, the St. Mary's Island, is another delightful holiday destination from Malpe Beach. Across the bay is the island of Darya Bahadurgarh and the Balarama Temple.
