Pristine Beach of Mangaluru: Taanirbhavi beach
Taanirbhavi
beach is beautiful beach located in Mangaluru. Being in Mangaluru for two years
this place has been one that I visit at least once in a month. Taanirbhavi
beach is just 8-10 km away from Mangaluru city. Unlike Pnanmbur Beach which has
lot of people flocking in every day. This beach is kind of less crowded on the
week days. The beach also provides a cool shade as it is filled with many pine
trees and people love to seat under it enjoying the cool salty breeze and watching
the sea waves hitting the sea shore.
There are two
ways through which you can reach the beach. One is by taking the bus and
telling the bus conductor to drop you at the beach which is just after the
Kuloor Bridge across the Gurupura River on the national highway 17, the way to
the beach is on the left hand side of the road. The other way to the beach is
through Sultan Battery. The place is as beautiful as the other beaches and is a
cool place a person can visit before going to the Taanierbhavi beach. The place
has a cool watch tower which was built by Tipu Sultan. It is built of black
stones to obstruct the war ships entering the river which was the major route
of English invasion but was retrieved from the English by Tipu Sultan. Though
the place holds a watch tower it looks more like a fort with mounting place for
cannons. The underground storage was built to store gunpowder.
The place also
has a beautiful ferry ride which takes you to the other side of the river where
you get a route to reach the Taanirbhavi beach. The ferry ride itself is
amazing as you can take a look at all the fishing boats and the beautiful river
water. The ride only charges 5rs and is available till 7:30pm.
At the entrance
of the beach you will find many stalls that serve amazing panipuri, chats and
also sugarcane juice. The place might not provide the variety you are looking
for to eat but the snacks and food provided is tasty and worth trying.
The place also
has some water sports which have been recently installed to provide more adventure
to the people visiting the place. The beach also has a well maintained seating
benches. The beach to compare to other beaches in Mangaluru is cleaner and well
kept.
So guys if you
are there in Mangaluru and would want to visit a place where you can spend your
evenings peacefully then this place would be a perfect one for you as you can spend
your time enjoying the sun without getting ten. The place also will give you a
beautiful adventure of a ferry ride building in you an excitement to know what
lies in the other side.
