Bekal Fort beach

The view of the sea atop the fort was breathtaking but not as much as it seemed in the movie 'Bombay' which was shot here. We spent about 45 minutes around the fort, clicking pictures from different places, and slowly everyone began to have the urge to walk along the seashore. The Bekal Fort Beach was a kilometer's distance from the fort, and was very refreshing. The volleyballs we were carrying around became useful now; Ravi's Frisbees were much in demand, and Bharath, Sumanth, Suhas flagged off their soccer practice in full swing. Slowly, everyone began getting wet, and within a few moments, every kid was drenched from top to bottom. As mothers got busy shouting at their children, Bharath, Sumanth and Suhas walked over to the open-shower, which was unfortunately right opposite to the Children's Park. The shower bath was so outstanding, we never wanted to stop it, but had to, because of the glares of the children playing in the park. It was 6-15pm by the time we walked back to the vehicle, drenched, but still excited. We still had to go to Mangalooru, our place of stay for the next three nights. It would be a 1-hour journey of about 50 Kms.
