The rustic charm of the beach is the main attraction and it makes for a great picnic spot. (Bring your own food) You can pay to pitch a tent over the rocks or a nearby hill if you want to stay overnight. This beach is one of the top places to go to in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/planned-treks\/gokarna-karwar-wander-beach-gods\/\">Karwar<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picture Source: https:\/\/www.tripoto.com\/trip\/tilmati-beach-unique-black-sand-beach-5941b921eb5c8<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getaway_10_Malpe_Beach\"><\/span><b>Getaway 10: Malpe Beach<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5440\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5440 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Malpe-Beach.jpg\" alt=\"Malpe Beach\" width=\"720\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Malpe-Beach.jpg 720w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Malpe-Beach-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Malpe-Beach-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Malpe Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At about 6 km to the west of Udupi, the beach town of Malpe is also a major port and fishing harbor on the coast of Karnataka. The beach has a never-ending coastline which means you can relax in the untouched portions of the beach, eat fresh seafood from stalls and delve into some adventure by trying the various water sports they offer \u2013 banana boat ride, kayaking, and jet skiing. My personal favorite is paragliding \u2013 there\u2019s no feeling like having your feet lifted off the sand and gliding above the water as the sea breeze hits your face. There are several home-stays that are right off the beach which makes your stay convenient and stress-free. You can also take the boat ride to St. Mary\u2019s Island. The island is surrounded by clear blue water because tourists can only visit during the day. The island is comprised of rustic rock formations and white sand. Sit on the rocks, stroll on the sand beach and watch the sunset from the island!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picture Source: https:\/\/www.mumbaitravellers.in\/coastal-karnataka-tour\/<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beach_Bonus_Pondicherry\"><\/span><b>Beach Bonus: Pondicherry<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5443\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5443\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5443 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rock-Beach-Pondicherry.jpg\" alt=\"Rock Beach, Pondicherry\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rock-Beach-Pondicherry.jpg 800w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rock-Beach-Pondicherry-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rock-Beach-Pondicherry-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Rock-Beach-Pondicherry-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5443\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rock Beach, Pondicherry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A town comprised of vintage white houses, a beach surrounded by a string of rocky terrain, and an array of traditional French cafes and restaurants. Pondicherry was once the largest French colony in India and up to now boasts of its love affair with the French through the strong French influence on the architecture of the city, with boulevards lined with Mediterranean-style vintage houses and bakeries. Sit on the rocks and watch the sunset, shop at the evening market and visit the Pondicherry museum to get a real taste of this little city. Another important attraction located 8 kms from Pondicherry is the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sri Aurobindo Ashram, one of the most important ashrams in India which attracts people from all over the world. Lastly, the cultural uniqueness of the place wouldn\u2019t be complete without the numerous Indo-French restaurants. You trip isn\u2019t over until you have dinner at at least one of these charming restaurants. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beach at Pondicherry and all the charm that comes with it is an experience you\u2019ll never forget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CLet_the_sea%E2%80%A6set_you_free%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>\u201cLet the sea\u2026set you free!\u201d<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little children holding a bucket and spade, ready to make castles out of the sand.
