One of the best spots in Udupi is this hanging bridge. About 12kms far from the city, it's quite a pleasant spot to not miss. The road to this is full of coconut trees and it's narrow. You can walk across the river on this bridge and experience it.
This beach is also known as Kodi Bengre beach. It is located where the Swarna river meets the Arabian sea. Less crowded during weekdays. You have small local toddy shops around and can have great local food (fish fry, chicken & neer dosa)
