St Mary's Island
St. Mary's Island, also known as Thonsepar, is a group of four small islands located in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Malpe in Udupi, Karnataka. These islands are known for their distinctive geological formation of columnar rhyolitic lava, which is a result of volcanic activity when Madagascar was still attached to India.
The islands are a popular tourist destination, offering beautiful beaches, rock monoliths, and a serene environment. The northernmost island, known as Coconut Island, features hexagonal basaltic rock formations and is a unique geological site. Visitors can enjoy activities like sunbathing, swimming, and exploring the natural beauty of the islands.
To reach St. Mary's Island, you can take a ferry from Malpe Harbour, which operates from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, except during the monsoon season from June to September.
The ferry ride itself is an enjoyable experience, providing scenic views of the Arabian Sea.
