The beach, located in Ullal, has large rocks called Rudra Shile or Rudra Paadhe. Rudra is Lord Shiva and Shile or Paadhe means rock in Tulu language.The name `Someshwara beach` is derived because of Lord Somanatha temple standing since several centuries on the sea shore.
The golden sands are used for walking or sunbathing.The presence of hidden rocks and currents along this stretch of the coast make this each unsuitable for swimming.
Close to this beach there is a hill called `Ottinene Hill`. On reaching the top of this hill there are views of Netravati River merging and disappearing in Arabian Sea. There is lush vegetation and number of medicinal plants that are naturally grown on this hill.
