Kapu Beach is a scenic spot for relaxation with a serene and calm atmosphere. The pristine blue waters, golden sand and swaying palm trees create the perfect setting for a leisurely stroll or picnic. Visitors can also indulge in water sports activities such as Jet Skiing and Banana Boat riding. The beach also has a lighthouse nearby to have a panoramic sea view of the surrounding areas.
Considered as one of the most popular beaches of Udupi, Malpe Beach offers a great place to sunbathe, swim, and enjoy the watersports. Visitors can take a scenic boat ride to St. Mary's Island, an uninhabited picturesque island. Malpe Beach is also known for its mouth-watering seafood like fish fry, prawn fry, and crab roast, served at the many shacks lined up at the beachside.
Away from the hustle-bustle of the city, Manipal Lake is an ideal place to enjoy the tranquility of nature. The peaceful surroundings offer a perfect place for activities like bird-watching and paddle boating. It is also a favorite spot for walkers and joggers for its lakeside walking track. Visitors can also enjoy a panoramic view of the lake from the green lawn that surrounds it.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Anegudde Sri Vinayaka Temple, around 20 km from the Udupi town, known for its beautiful architecture and historical significance. In case you have less time, you can skip Manipal Lake and spend more time at the beaches. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and carry an extra pair of comfortable clothes for a relaxing day. Also, carry some cash for parking and food expenses.
