Netrani Island ( Netragudo):
Locally known as Netragudo.The tiny uninhabited Island of Netrani lies 10 nautical miles off the coastal Light House of Bhatkal.

Murdeshwar: (Optional visiting place)
About 16 Kms. from Bhatkal, we come across the holy place called Murdeshwar, famous for gorgeous temple and the beautiful sea shore. the temple, which embodies a Linga, is believed to have erupted when Ravana flung the Atmalinga at Gokarna while lifting it.
