Someshwara is the kind of beach that stays local. The fishing hamlet and the ancient Someshwara temple keep the strip quiet, and the sand runs wide and clean from November to March.
Tara sits within a short walk of the waterline, set behind a laterite wall just high enough to cut the wind without hiding the view. Four bedrooms, a pool oriented to catch the afternoon sun, and interiors that let the house feel like it has always been here.
A rare find at this price on a beach this close to Mangaluru.
The beach at Someshwara is anchored by a 13th-century Shiva temple that keeps the atmosphere traditional and unhurried. NH-66 is 5 km inland; Mangaluru city centre is 18 km south.
The stretch between Someshwara and Maravanthe to the north is the most scenic coastal corridor in Dakshina Kannada.
