There are four main beaches in Gokarna. The Kudle beach, Om beach, Halfmoon beach,  and Paradise beach.

All of these beaches has places to stay (called cafes). No matter where you stay, you must visit all of these idillyc beaches to enjoy the stay to the fullest. Every beach is subtely different from every other in a very nice way. These are very nice places to spend days and nights relaxing.

Half moon beach

Half moon beach

A cliff separates Half moon beach from Om beach. It's a wonderful 20 mins hike walking along the sea face of the cliff. There is one shack on this beach, which also turns into a paddy field in the monsoon season. Typical Indian village-like huts are spread over a small area adjoining the beach. Enjoy drawing water from a well and a bath under the stars, if you stay at this place.

Kudle Beach

Edit This

A fifteen minute walk over the deccan from Gokarn will bring you to Kudle beach.  It has a long crescent shape with large rocky hills at either end.  Cafes, most of which double as guesthouses, line the forest edge.  The beach is relatively flat, meaning the tide comes pretty far.  This effect is most appreciated at sunset when you can walk the length of the beach in 2 inches of water.  This also makes part of the beach relatively packed sand, which is great for beach soccer and cricket.

Shaped like the Hindu spiritual symbol of Om, this is the most famous beach in Gokarna, and has got the best waves and beach-side shacks. It's a wonderful stay in any of these shacks, called cafes. Expect thatch hut rooms and common bathrooms in most of them. Though some of the cafes have rooms with attached bathrooms.

It takes around 20 minutes to reach this beach from Gokarna bus stand.
