Mangalore  was named after the goddess Mangaladevi. The story behind goes a long way in enriching the cultural heritage of Mangalore.  It is also one of the major ports in India. Lying on the backwaters formed by the Netravati and Gurpur rivers, it has long been a roadstead along the Malabar Coast.Here are a few things to do in Mangalore.

Marvanthe Beach-It is considered one of Karnataka's most beautiful beaches. It is about 55 kilometres from Udupi and .One hour ride from Udupi will take you to this spectacular sight.Mangalore is at a distance of 110 km. You can take a bus or hire a taxi to reach the beach.

  NH-66 runs right next to the beach and the Suparnika River flows on the other side of the road, creating a spectacular scenery and considered only one of its kind in India.

 The river Souparnika, almost touches Arabian Sea here, makes a U turn and goes westward to join the Sea only after a journey of more than 10 kilometres.The sunset here is one of the best we have ever seen.

 Surathkal beach-It is located 12 km from Mangalore city. 

The beach is close to the NIT college.  The nearest airport to Surathkal beach is Mangalore..

  It is a rocky beach.The smooth sand and the rocks make an amazing combination.The sunset is one of its kind.

 There is an added attraction to historical Sadashiva Temple near the beach  due to mythology.When Lord Ganesha kept Ravana's shivalinga on the ground, Ravana tried to pick it up forcefully and some pieces were scattered. One such piece from the linga is said to have fallen in Suratkal.

 There is a temple and lighthouse which give amazing views of the beach.

 There are no water sports on the beach.But walking bare feet on the soft sand is one experience.

Tannirbhavi Beach is located near Panambur, 10 km to the north of the city, near the New Mangalore Port and along the confluence of the Gurupur river and the Arabian Sea.

It can only be reached by land via Panambur or by ferry via Gurupura river from Sultan Battery.We spotted jelly fishes in huge numbers in the river.The river is full of jelly fishes.It was a sight which we had never seen before.

You can see the remains of a ship which sank 15 years ago near the beach.
