Padubidri

About Padubidri

Padubidri is a quiet coastal village lying along the Arabian Sea shore within easy reach of Mangalore. Its beach stretches in the manner typical of this stretch of the Karnataka coast — broad, dark-sanded and fringed with casuarina and coconut trees. Visitors come mainly to walk along the waterline, watch fishing boats head out at dawn and dusk, and observe the working rhythms of a traditional fishing community. The atmosphere is noticeably calmer than the beaches immediately around Mangalore itself, making it a reasonable choice for those seeking an unhurried afternoon away from the city. Local food stalls and small eateries near the shore offer the fresh seafood and coastal Karnataka cooking the region is known for. It is best reached by road from Mangalore.
