Panambur Beach












For those who enjoy traveling to picturesque places, 'break waters' is what we used to call it. Its where the ships are harbored into the New Mangalore Port and is situated at one end of the beach beyond which the port authority takes over. It is my mental picture of serenity.

Walk along a good half kilometer to the edge of the rocks and you would be greeted with contrastingly beautiful panaroma... from people fishing in their little trawlers to huge container ships coming into the port to the lovers rendezvous. The sun setting into the horizon of the sea is absolutely breath taking!!!

The name Panambur is derived from 'Panam' which means Money and 'Ur' which means a place or village in the Tulu language. Panambur beach is located about 15 kms from the city and is now turning into hotspot of choice for a lot of cultural events.

  1. Hey Goats,
    the last pic is really interesting. one suggestion (trick that i learnt from the GPP class)for this pic is if you had been sprawled on the flooe with the lens tilted downward a bit and the horizon much above in the upper quarter. I believe it would be a fantastic snap. Moreover would highly recommend you join the GPP class (if you havent yet). WOrth all the money.

  3. Panambur Beach, a really calm place to feel the sand and waves on your foot. I really enjoyed my time there. Since there are a lot of places to visit in mangalore. I haven't had the time to spend a few more evenings at the beach.
