"Mangalore- Coastal Pride of K'taka" Mangalore by abi_maha

Mangalore Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 52 photos

Beaches galore

Mangalore is full of beaches, it sure is famous for coastal cuisine (fish, crabs, prawns) and beautiful women! Being an overnight journey from Bangalore we have visited Mangalore multiple times- for friend's weddings, school excursions, office outings... :)

St Mary's Island

If you are able to put up with all the fish smell at the port and wait for a ferry to get you to the island its well worth spending half a day in the pristine blue waters. However go prepared, there is no food available on the island, so carry a nice picnic hamper.

Food- Awesome coastal food

Being a vegetarian I still had an awesome spread of nice coco-nutty food. However seafood lovers were super thrilled at all they could get to eat! =))

Pros and Cons
