About 6 km from Udupi, in South Canara is Malpe, an ideal picnic spot with its virgin beach. The endless stretch of golden sand, graciously swaying palm trees, the clear blue sky and the gurgle of the sea all set a perfect mood for an unforgettable holiday here. Malpe Beach is characterised by Silver white Sand beach which is still quite secluded and not visited by a lot of tourists. At the mouth of the Malpe river, about 6 kms. from Udupi, is the natural harbour of Malpe, an important fishing centre that enriches Karnataka's coastline with its fabulous beach.
