Someshwar Beach , Ullal (Mangalore) Ullal, in south Mangalore, has the most pristine and rocky beach face in the canara region. Jagged rocks overlook the sea which, however, most locals consider too rough for swimming in. The great rock that abuts the sea is Someshwar's main draw, as are the series of resorts that line this picturesque stretch of sand and water.
