Unlike other blogs this blog is just
a small write up of some of the famous beaches in Mangalore... Hope you enjoy
it J
March has
been an amazing month for me.... 1st I travelled to BR hills then
Udupi and now Mangalore with Family J
I have been
to Mangalore many times but never stayed here. Mangalore used to just be a pit-stop
for me before I headed off to other destinations. However this time my family
wanted to stay at Mangalore and experience Mangalore.... Hence I decided to
travel to Mangalore and visit all the attractions of Mangalore.
Bangalore to Someshwar Beach,
Mangalore
This was the 1st leg of our
journey. Since it was a long weekend we wanted to avoid the mad rush on the
Bangalore-Mangalore highway and since I was travelling with my family and needed
adequate pit stops enroute I decided to start at 4am in the morning instead of
night.
Route :-
I took the
Normal route to Mangalore that is BangaloreàHassanàSakleshpuràMangalore.
Thanks to
the amazingly well maintained roads on the Bangalore-Hassan Highway and the
surprisingly non damaged roads of the Sakleshpur & shiradi Ghats I reached
Mangalore in just 6 hours with lot of breaks in between.
Accommodation :-
We were
looking for some beach facing kind off accommodation and after much research
narrowed down to Mangalore Beach resort / Vazco beach resort as it worked out
to be economical for us....
The resort
is located just off Someshwar beach in a secluded area.... It resort was just
ok nothing wow about it....
Someshwar Beach
The beach in front of our resort was very rough and the
fisherman advised us not to get into the water as it is dangerous. This put us
off because we were really looking forward to taking a dip in the beach after a
tiring drive of 6 hours and the scorching heat and humidity of Mangalore.
Hence we did not get into the water instead took a dip in
the resort’s swimming pool to cool off....
The beach is beautiful in the evening as the temperatures
cool off and you can enjoy the beautiful sunset all alone in this secluded
beach.
Panambur Beach
This Beach
was a total contrast from the Someshwar beach. This beach was full of
tourists... Lot of food stalls serving you Chinese food and fish fry... The
beach was amazing.... I could finally get into the water here and I spent almost
2 hours at the beach playing in the water and enjoying some yummy chats and sea
food J
I watched
the sunset and had lot of fun at the beach and finally my coming to Mangalore
paid off thanks to Panambur beach J
