Reviews Of St. Mary's Island
Udupi, Karnataka, India
St. Mary's Island, also known as Coconut Island, is a cluster of four small islands located off the coast of Malpe in the Arabian Sea. These islands are world-famous for their unique geological formation of columnar basaltic lava, which is the only one of its type in India. Legend has it that the P ortuguese explorer Vasco da Gama landed here in 1498 and named the islands "El Padron de Santa Maria." The islands were declared a National Geological Monument by the Geological Survey of India in 1972. The landscape is dominated by hexagonal rock pillars that look like man-made sculptures but are actually formed by ancient volcanic activity. The beaches here are not typical sandy shores; they are often covered in millions of seashells of various shapes and sizes. The crystal-clear turquoise waters and swaying coconut palms give the island a Caribbean-like feel. There are no permanent residents or commercial hotels on the island, ensuring its natural beauty remains intact. Visitors reach the island via a scenic ferry ride from Malpe Beach, which takes about 20 minutes. The island offers a tranquil environment for those looking to escape the hustle of the mainland. It is a paradise for geologists, nature lovers, and photographers alike. The eastern side of the island has calmer waters, while the western side features more rugged rock formations. The island is closed during the monsoon season for safety reasons. It is a place where history, geology, and coastal beauty converge perfectly. Exploring the island on foot allows visitors to see the diverse rock structures up close. It remains one of the most photographed and unique destinations in Karnataka. :
