Shortcut
By The Beach
Around 15kms from Kundapur is Trasi, a beach town that’s a stone’s thrown away from Maravanthe. Here, the Turtlebay on Sea stands on an unspoilt beach, bordered by coconut groves and golden sands. The entire property is dotted with brick-walled cottages and sloping, tiled roofs. Over the years, the resort has become a popular site for weddings and conferences.
The rooms come in standard, deluxe, and sea-facing versions. The first two types are basic, and you can settle into a room with whitewashed walls, a comfortable bed, and colourfully-framed windows that offer glimpses of the scenery outside. The sea-facing rooms are bigger, with an additional spot of colour to the walls so that you end up with a bright, cozy nook. And, of course, you can sit by the window and feast your eyes on the aqua blue waters of the sea for hours.
You won’t have to wander too far for a meal when you are camped here. Just drop by their restaurant, where you can enjoy the sea breeze and chomp down on their fresh seafood treats. We highly recommend that your try out their ghee roasts, spicy fish curries, and coconut-infused dishes that the region {Kundapur} is famous for.
Test The Waters
Beach lovers have it good at Turtlebay. You can spend hours by the beach, soaking up the sun in a hammock or splashing about in the waters. You can also venture out into the waters in boats for a dolphin-spotting expedition. And if you really like to work those muscles even on a holiday, kayaking across the frothy waters or riding the waves atop a surfboard will do you a world of good.
This is also a great base to visit the breathtaking Maravanthe, where you can zip across a road bordered by the thrashing waves of the sea on one side, and the calm waters of the River Sowparnika on the other. Mangalore and Udupi are not too far away for a day’s outing, either.
