HALF MOON BEACH
As its name indicates the beach is in the shape of a half
moon, as per the local residents of the town. Visitors opine that this beach is
silent, calm and quiet and shy like a bride. Since the beach is away from the
town and people frequently visited it in earlier days the beach got a silent
remark. ( I am pointing just history of this beach about 30 years ago) But in
recent times the beach has regular visits from tourists worldwide.
This beach is very beautiful, clean, free from pollution,
free from crowd and free from dirt. This is a beach suitable for water spot
games and swimming, and visitors too prefer this beach of all mostly due to its
privacy. Tourists may have to suffer slightly to reach this beach as there is
no direct road, but there are few ways easily manage to reach via Om beach. But
I suggest you to take assistance from local guide who can make you to reach
your destination by short cut roads or may be providing conveyance under
unavoidable circumstances.
One more suggestion is pack up your food and drinking water
along with you. That does not mean that, no food is available there. The first
reason is that your budget may affect your planning. Secondly, if unfortunately the restaurant is
unable to provide dishes or snacks as per your requirements immediately.
Because only two or three hotels/resorts are actively serving tourists.
However, nowadays resort constructing work is under progress and hence no
worries in future.
The half moon beach of Arabian sea is one side covered with
coconut trees, jack fruit trees, mango trees and other forest tasty fruits
enhancing the beauty of the beach. Advance intimation is a must if you want to
stay here. You can reserve your booking with any known person of you or any
local agents to avoid inconveniences. Stay and enjoy!
PARADISE BEACH
Paradise beach is one more attractive beach of Arabian sea
at Gokarna among all beaches. This beach has few facilities including
accommodation, food and water. This is because; this place was unidentified as
this place is isolated. But when you compared to other beaches, this place is
quite different in the setting and big waves are swat the rocks and making big
sound which is mesmerizing.
You can reach this beach by walk via half moon beach or consult
local residents who are happy to serve you honestly. Pack up food and water
with you before leaving and have a fun, play, trek rocks and relax till
evening. Amazing beach keeps remembering you forever.
