St Mary's Islands is a set of four islands off the coast of Malpe, Udupi. They are among the last few unexplored beaches in India. Known for their famous hexagonal basalt rocks which are formed due to volcanic lava drying up, these islands have been declared as an important site for Geo tourism in Karnataka. The beaches and surrounding waters are unbelievably pristine and taking those two boat rides from Malpe to reach here is definitely worth it.
This island of St. Mark is included into the UNESCO World Heritage Site territory. This is the biggest island of the Krtolj archipelago. Aside from the beautiful 4 km long beach, the island is decorated with incredible natural beauty - olive groves, cypress trees and other Mediterranean vegetation.
