I visited the beach once in March and once in monsoon in June. It has its unique beauty in both the seasons. Obviously it is less crowded during the monsoon and most of the time you won't be allowed to go near the sea but the beauty is mesmerizing. However, don't expect the beaches to be clean in monsoon because the rains drain away the dirt from the hills to the seashores. But you won't regret it. I had awesome experience and I would love to go there again in some time.

**Title: Gokarna Main Beach - Where Tranquility Meets the Sea** Gokarna Main Beach, a pristine stretch along the Arabian Sea, proved to be a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here's my take on the captivating beauty of Gokarna's flagship beach: **Serene Shoreline: 5/5** Gokarna Main Beach boasts a long and serene shoreline that invites you to unwind amidst the rhythmic melody of crashing waves. The clean, golden sands create a perfect canvas for leisurely strolls and moments of quiet introspection. **Spiritual Vibes: 4/5** The beach is flanked by ancient temples, including the famed Mahabaleshwar Temple. The coexistence of spirituality and the soothing sounds of the sea adds a unique charm to the atmosphere, making it a holistic experience for visitors. **Sunset Spectacle: 5/5** Prepare to be mesmerized as the sun gracefully dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The sunset at Gokarna Main Beach is nothing short of a visual spectacle, creating a serene ambiance that lingers long after the sun has set. **Cafes by the Coast: 4/5** Quaint beachside cafes offer a delightful culinary experience with fresh seafood and local delicacies. The laid-back vibe of these establishments makes them perfect for unwinding with a cup of chai or enjoying a sumptuous meal while gazing at the endless sea. **Cultural Encounters: 3/5** While the beach is a melting pot of cultures, I wished for more cultural activities or events to truly immerse visitors in the local way of life. Nonetheless, interacting with vendors and fellow beachgoers provides a glimpse into the community's warmth. **Water Adventures: 3/5** For adventure seekers, Gokarna Main Beach offers opportunities for water sports and activities. However, the options are relatively limited compared to some other beach destinations. Nevertheless, a boat ride along the coastline is a must-try. **Cleanliness and Maintenance: 4/5** The beach is generally well-maintained, with efforts made to keep it clean. Visitors are encouraged to be mindful of their waste to contribute to the preservation of this natural haven. **Accessibility: 4/5** Gokarna Main Beach is easily accessible, making it a popular choice for both solo travelers and families. The approach road, though not luxurious, adds a touch of adventure to the journey. **Overall Oasis: 4.5/5** Gokarna Main Beach, with its serene ambiance and natural beauty, offers a welcome retreat for those seeking solace by the sea. Whether you're a sunseeker, a culture enthusiast, or simply someone yearning for a tranquil escape, this beach has something to offer every soul.

This is one of my favorite beach. Its spread across miles. You will definitely love it. One thing is that after you park your car/bike(parking fee is ₹20/day), make sure to walk atleast half a kilometer from the entry crowd place. The reason is that water at that place is not so clean. Plus crowd doesn't allow you to take photos in peace. There r many beach side hotels. You can visit and order some food/drinks of your choice. A must place visit. Enjoy the sea..!!

Its a nice beach, less crowd as its a long stretch! Amazing shops and restaurants near by. Also they all face towards the beach, so evening and nights awesome place to dine or party! Enjoyed a lot! At night the beach looks amazing. Do visit.

This beach is quite big. It is easily accessible too. The beach becomes less crowded and cleaner as one moves northward on the beach. It is the most lovely beach in Gokarna. It has very good shacks, shopping area, water activities etc. The sunset is very beautiful on this beach. A must visit beach if you are in Gokarna. Pro tip: visit/stay in the northern part of this beach if you want cleaner water and less crowd.

It will pretty nice if you visit sunrise. Or sunset. We went almost while it's getting dark. So just enjoyed colours of sky. That's it. Anyways i am from visakhapatnam, pretty daily visitor to beach here. so i didn't paid much attention to beach visit this time due to tight schedule. Shall visit next time.

An excellent beach area to spend your vacations/holidays/honeymoons on off-seasons due to less crowd and calm place. Kindly avoid the visits during festive seasons unless you are really want to enjoy the crowdness. I suggest to not take cottages very close to beach due to high cost if you have a budget constraints else you can go for it. My recommendation is to take resort which are little far from beach (just 100-200 mts) away from seashore to save up to 50% on your room rentals. The best part is that the beach is full of sea views restaurants to enjoy your meal or snack with hot ☕ or cold drinks 🍻.

This might be the longest beach in Gokarna and is situated a bit far from the other beaches. It is however closer to the Mahabaleshwar Temple and hence you can see many pilgrims taking bath there before offering their puja. The part directly in front of the temple is extremely crowded and is frequented by pilgrims so it might be little awkward for youngsters (particularly ladies) to bathe here in their swimming costumes or shorts. But you can easily skip the crowd if you go a km or more inside the beach away from the temple. Here crowd is also very less, the shacks are also present and you can just leave your things behind in the shack and go and take a dip in the calm waves. We went to this beach near the evening just before taking the return bus and enjoyed a beautiful pre-sunset. Unfortunately we could not wait till the sunset due to lack of time but I am pretty sure the sunset here would have been awesome. Do try the french cafe called Chez Christophe in the quieter part of the beach. We went there just to get some relief from the scorching sun, and they were kind enough to let us stay as long as we wanted even though we ordered just 3 breezers. We even sat with them and enjoyed the last 10 overs of a cricket match with them.♥️✨

I enjoyed the local roads and beautiful unexplored beaches. Clearly the government hasn't monetized them yet and that makes them more desirable for travel and experience as they are being authentic.

On of the awesome place i visited till now... ♥️ Very peaceful not that much rush... U can enjoy alot... Compare to other beaches u can spend more time on sea no one will shout at u to get in... If anyone thinking to get out from their all problems if they need some peace... This is the best place i can suggest... Not like Goa... Here full of peace... ☮️

Gokarna beach is a very silent and secluded beach. There are plenty of beach shacks available as well. The beach is very clean and tidy. There are plenty of hillocks which surrounds the beach makes the beach even more mesmerizing. There sunset is a real eye treat, the rocks which adore the beach is superb. The green covering over the hillocks is very natural, during the monsoon season it will be much more greener.

I had a great experience but no beach is clean. Everywhere you will see the garbage. More than beach, I personally liked the trek from OM beach to Paradise beach. Paradise beach is an over-hyped place. Trek was good till that point, but not the beach. If you are reading this, a gentle request please try to keep clean the beach. Please don't throw plastic or any other belongings.

Loved it, the water was very clean, i could actually see my feet and the sand at the bottom, it's a very long beach, so you can always find space. But it's too crowded. So you might not get the pictures you desire to capture but that's okay as long as you enjoy it.

Best beach in gokarna to play.. 2-3 water sports activities are there.. Since this beach is not deep its suitable for small children also if they want to play.. One can take a bath after they play in the sea water as there is a paid washroom and toilet at the beach..

Very beautiful and serene. Affordable simple water sports. Clean beach. Flat shoreline, kids don't get scared bcoz of this. Very memorable experience I personally had with my family.

Was fun... Nice place for trekking and camping. Gotta feel those winds from Arabian sea.If someone looking for any place for trek and camp with friends it's the right place to go.Feel the vibe before people privatise those hills and beaches.its almost privatised now.but still have some awesome place for camping.just go for it.

Very easily accessible, near to temple. You can watch beautiful sun set from this beach. Good parking place is available. Lots of accommodation & Restaurants options available in this beach. Good for early morning or evening walk. And also few Water activities also available. Little crowded in few places. You can consider this beach accomodations, if you want to stay in affordable price...( When compared to other beaches in Gokarna )

Very good beach gokarna main sunset point view good sun set

The beach holds a feel, words aren't enough to express but I will try with my limited collection of words. Since I came in the month of October the weather for me was excellent, not harsh to my skin (I took additional care to wear full-arm clothing). I walked alongside the beach, it was clean our fellow trekkers collected starfishes, crabs and shellfishes put it in a box of sand and water! I hope it survives, walked for two hours or so, the sunset was beautiful. It wasn't a cloudy day and at night the stars were more than what we generally saw in the cities. The crescent moon was like a cherry on the cake. The sound of the beach at night is heart-filling! In comparison with the other beaches this one's nicer to play and relax too.

A road touching beach. Very peaceful and soothing waves. Having a sea view hotel for a stay gives best vibes. The other side has fishing boats. A lot of people come here. An underrated but in a way it is best to avoid overcrowding. Nice beach. Do visit. No waiting, no entry fees.

Gokarna's Om Beach is a slice of paradise that exceeded all my expectations. The natural beauty of the pristine coastline and turquoise waters left an indelible mark on my memory. The beach's unique Om shape is not just a geographical quirk but adds a spiritual charm to the surroundings. The accommodation options along Om Beach, including beachfront huts and resorts, offered a perfect blend of comfort and proximity to nature. Waking up to the sound of waves and the breathtaking view of the sunrise made every moment memorable. The cleanliness and well-maintained environment of Om Beach were commendable. The local authorities seem dedicated to preserving the beach's natural allure, making it a pleasure for visitors who appreciate a clean and unspoiled coastal environment. The beach activities and water sports available added an adventurous touch to the stay. Whether it was banana boat rides or simply strolling along the shore, there were ample options for recreation. The locals, known for their warmth and hospitality, contributed to the overall positive experience. The beachside cafes and shacks served delicious local and international cuisine. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with the scrumptious food, created a delightful dining experience. Sunset views from these eateries were nothing short of magical. In conclusion, Gokarna's Om Beach is a gem on the Karnataka coastline, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, comfortable accommodation, exciting activities, and warm hospitality. It's a destination that beckons those seeking a tranquil yet vibrant beach escape.

The sand is soft and fine, with very few shells or pebbles. The water is warm and did not have any seaweed to speak of. The guest rooms and restaurants along the beach are numerous and the staff are all friendly and helpful. As an American in India for the first time, I found it a wonderfully peaceful place in a country that can be stressful and sometimes overwhelming to foreigners.

The beach is nice and clean however the way to the Beach is little congested so if you are travelling by SUVs,Mini Vans then it is suggestive to park it on the outside part of the beach, Good View and Really Photo-scenic place.Water is really good for Sea Swimmers and people who like to play in the sea waters.

Excellent Place to spend time with friends and Family! Om Beach is nice! Namste Cafe 🏖 resort is good for staying and food is Nice slightly on expensive side!!

Great ambience and clean water. Evenings are best time to visit. Sunsets here will give a memorable experience.

Near to holy tample mahabaleshwar gokarn tample.. almost walking for 500 mtr. But too much dirty not suggested to visit to hangout but still if you want then you can go for short time .. I visited here during rain so water tide was high as normal. With family you can visit some good shops are here for shopping for dry fruits and masaale. It's tample place so accordingly you have manage.

This is the main beach in Gokarna but popularity wise its not main. The beach is also not clean. I went in the evening for a sunset view , The crowd was there but it was missing the beach charm. No eateries and street food vendors. There is no fish which is the speciality of all beaches. U can't spend more than half an hour here because u will start feeling bored. Because in Gokarna there are far better beaches like om and kudle. There is a small flea market near this place. Prices are not so cheap but it's okay. If you are in Gokarna just visit this place and don't plan any special things here. Sunset is okay. You can click some good pictures with sunset.

The beach was good. Altough not clean enough and no cafes and restaurant was available. You can visit the nearest Mahabaleshwar Temple. We visited during monsoon season and most of the places were closed. Better visit during seasons, it might be crowded but atlest you will find a lots of cafes and restaurant around.

Visiting Gokarna Main Beach was an absolute delight! Despite the drizzling rain, the beach's charm and natural beauty shone through, creating a truly enchanting experience.

Beach view is awesome. Go with friends and family and spent your good time. Mahabaleshwar temple is near. If you want to visit temple please go with traditional dress.

Went here with family. The beach is crowded as hell. But it was a different experience. Must visit if you’re a fan of taking long walks. There are multiple stalls available near the beach and there are multiple restaurants facing the beach as well. We had a great time.

Compare to kudle beach not pretty good This might be the longest beach in Gokarna and is situated a bit far from the other beaches. It is however closer to the Mahabaleshwar Temple and hence you can see many pilgrims taking bath there before offering their puja. The part directly in front of the temple is extremely crowded and is frequented by pilgrims so it might be little awkward for youngsters (particularly ladies) to bathe here in their swimming costumes or shorts. But you can easily skip the crowd if you go a km or more inside the beach away from the temple. Here crowd is also very less, the shacks are also present and you can just leave your things behind in the shack and go and take a dip in the calm waves. We went to this beach near the evening just before taking the return bus and enjoyed a beautiful pre-sunset. Unfortunately we could not wait till the sunset due to lack of time but I am pretty sure the sunset here would have been awesome.

Good beach....Clean and well maintained beach....But any season there is no rooms available on rent so my suggestion is please book your rooms in advance..Food is good...

Very nice place to enjoy the evenings. Only drawback is route which leads to this place. Its very narrow and only 1 vehicle and move. If anyone by mistake takes wrong way in the route then the road block is horrible. Exit way is good. So plan accordingly. Beach is very nice, pleasant and enjoyable.

It is like heaven. World's beautiful place. You explore to many beaches in a radius of 5-8 km

The beach beautiful and safe in terms of rocks and sea.. Although there was a jelly fish bloom when we were there and many of our family members got stinged.. It's quite painful and you should be careful about it.. Otherwise it's a great place to be at..

Perfect spot to chill and witness beautiful sunsets in Gokarna. It has an array of cafes and restaurants along the beach, where you get stunning views of the sunset.

One of the wounderfull beach i ever visited. It's peaceful and surrounded but bhraman people. No non veg food allowed there.there is trail for trecking and its cover 12 beaches if you can.I tented side of the orange colour temple. There is a fresh water for drinking and bathing infront of temple.

A very beautiful beach, clean. Lot of shacks, cafes with accommodation by the beach. Almost all Cafes serve good food and beers. There is paid parking also available for overnight. Many beach cafes has no access road and accessible only via beach walk.

This beach is nearby a Ganpati temple. Three times I visited this place. Morning afternoon, and evening. I like the evening times. Because you can see a nice view of the sunset and nearby a local shops are there you can have some snacks and tea. Also, there is a small local market I tried to buy something but they well you high piece but you can do a lot of bargain and at one time they will agree. You can go for a temporary tattoo as well. It's goods

Ideal for a quiet morning or evening. Not crowded, with adequate parking and a few basic food shops right on the beach. Not many other facilities available though! Just a basic but beautiful beach that probably has a famous history!

Being biggest and easily accessible to everyone makes it most crowded, but still it won't be too crowded. Beach is clean just like all the beaches of gokarna. All parking and bathroom, toilet facility available but paid. Good to spend some quality time. Try to visit in morning or evening time. Sunset looks really good from here.

Very near to Main temple.approx 500 metres distance.. you can enjoy the atmosphere in evening times. After sea bath, there is a public washrooms also there ..they can charge 20/- per person. But be cautious while swimming..u can avoid swim in this beach.

Gokarna Main Beach is a hidden gem that should not be missed! The beach offers a great atmosphere and is perfect for anyone looking to relax and unwind. The beach is peaceful, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore is so calming. I loved watching the sunset on this beach. It's not too crowded which adds to its charm. In the evening and night, the beach looks amazing. We can spend plenty of time just sitting there. Overall, Gokarna Main Beach is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a serene and picturesque beach experience.

Gokarna is a peaceful village can stay for peaceful time. Cool old greenery streets, friendly people, bikes on rent, affordable prices.. One family must experience this.. If one is searching out for temple and beach, then this place for you.. Good vegetarian and non vegetarian food. Awesome veg food at om ds cafe. For non veg, sea home food restaurant is best. Had a wonderful time here..

This is one such place that is piece and given the size of this place it is not crowded like Goa. I myself have gone here while I was back from Goa. It’s got multiple entries to the stretch of coastline and you can expect few restaurants near by. One, it’s got clean beach and less crowded and multiple places for tracking. You can spend a day or two and explore all that this place has to offer. Must visit.

Very good gokarna middle of beach

The beach has a serene atmosphere, but cleanliness could be improved. The particular spot we visited had a number of fishing boats on the shore, offering a picturesque view.

Gokarna beach is one beach which is most easy to access as because of this there it reaches more crowd but this is good but there the level of clean surroundings is average. And here we have more advantages like bath facilities, other services are very high.

It's beautiful beach of Gokarna Clean and nit, there is a camel ride available on beach and very near from Temple There is parking for all vehicles and temple parking also there only

One of the nicest beach I've visited in India. It is so peaceful and dogs on the beach are so playful. The shacks are nice and budget friendly and people on beach are generally really nice here. Must visit before it gets commercialised like Goa

Very beautiful beach of gokarna, its long stretch of beach with very less crowd if you go further away from parking facility. Sea can be rought sometimes so not very ideal for swim. Beach is also near to religious place of Mahabaleshwara temple. There are few beach hut accomodations available along with few beach shacks.

It was lovely experience, vibe is too good But, there is no cafe nearby to enjoy the food along with the sea view. Also, you cannot have any water activity there.

Offers great experience in terms of colour changes during early morning , noon and evening. There is a sunset point nearby the beach hardly 650 meters away trek. Worthy visiting the point, sunset view is amazing here, no comparison. Beach shacks offer variety, finding best among them is uphill task. Yes pineapple juice without sugar and green coconut of 60/- (Indian currency) is worthy. Santushti veg restraunt offers 120/- super veg thali is great , just bang on the beach entrance. If you are spice concern person then this is the right place. Whole spice merchants throng here I must say great prices. Kaju superior quality is of 600/- kg only. Though the beach is dirty by human habits. Cleanliness here is not to godliness but lots of gods surrounds this area, such an irony.

Main beach is a long, long beach where you can enjoy a promenade and contemplate the sunset with the beauty of the moon behind you at the same time. Families, groups of friends and solo traveller gather here.
