Make footprints in the sand at this secluded beach backed by the sensuous sway of casuarinas. Situated on the south bank of the Netravati river, just 8km from Mangalore, Ullal's claim to fame rests on the courageous Queen Abbakka, who in the early 1600s repulsed a Portuguese attack near the city, killing two naval commanders and 200 Portuguese seamen. The ruins of the area indicate that it was a kingdom ruled with pomp and splendour. Ullal is also famed for the Durgah of Syed Mohammed Shereeful Madani, who reportedly came to Ullal from Madina 400 years ago.
Best season: August to April.
