Beach Experience - priceless
Malpe beach and St. Mary’s island.
Did some fun activities at Malpe beach, bathed in the sea, walked around St. Mary’s island, watched the sunset and indulged ourselves in eating fresh sea food all day long. So, Day 1 was spent at the Malpe beach. This beach is most visited by tourists and locals alike. We stayed at the Malpe beach front cottage,which was clean and spacious and right in front of the beach. Stay was comfortable. Food stalls were nearby and we spent eating mostly on them. You can’t boast of doing a lot here and that’s exactly why I loved these beaches. Just relax and watch the beautiful sunset. St. Mary’s island is a beautiful looking island. scenic spot. Most of the shoreline was closed off but you can just walk around the island and click your best pictures.
On Day2 we decided to go to the hanging bridge where we also did a bit of kayaking, for the first time! From there we headed to our stay at Kodi beach which was a beautiful cottage right opposite to the beach. In the evening we went to the kodi beach sky walk and then back to the beach opposite to our stay to watch the sunset again. There’s a light house there too which is open to public. The day next too was spent at Kodi beach, enjoying the serenity. Eating fresh prawns and various sea food and a chilled beer, with a gorgeous view of the sea waves crashing on the shore. Time spent here was magical!
