With summers here and people looking to make the most of it with quick weekend escapes to cool off and unwind, we have curated a list of lesser-known beaches in Karnataka waiting to be explored.
Kodi Bengre Beach, also known as Delta Beach, is located in the quaint village of Kodi Bengre near Udupi, nestled approximately 4 km away from the coastal town of Kundapur.
One of the highlights of this secluded beach is the small strip of land that separates the Suvarna river from the Arabian Sea, making it a picturesque location.
“I use Tilmati Beach as my personal hideout from the world because not many folks know about this place.” 24-year-old PR executive Vishesh Devan from Bengaluru told South First.
“The sunrise and sunsets here are to die for and, of course, the view of the gorgeous Arabian Sea makes me just want to sit on the black beach all day and stare at the waves.
Those who visit here for the first time are usually blown away by the “exotic” atmosphere of the beach thanks to the almost-pristine white sands, giving a very Madagascar-ish vibe.
Located approximately 12 km from the coastal city of Udupi, Mattu Beach is a less-explored, untouched paradise on earth and is highly popular among locals.
Besides its golden sands and the swaying coconut trees, another factor which makes the beach extraordinary is its glowing waters, which are caused by bioluminescent algae.
