A
drive up north along the coastal road to
Maravanthe, 50 kms from Udupi, is the sandy
Maravanthe beach. The endless stretch of golden
sand, swaying palm trees, clear blue sky and the
gush of the sea attracts a large number of
tourists to this spot.
The highway bordered on either side by the
Arabian Sea and the Satuparnika River, with a
backdrop of the Kodachadri Hills, makes the
drive an out-of-the-world experience.
At sunset, a crimson sky and golden rays
reflected both in the sea and the river convert
Maravanthe into a fairyland of scenic beauty. A
drive further up are the Belekal Theertha falls,
near Baindur.
The Maravanthe Beach is a popular picnic spot
and the waters are safe for swimming with huge
but gentle tides beckoning you and mesmerising
you to come and play with them. The pristine
beauty and peaceful surroundings of its virgin
beach make it a favourite picnic spot.
