Much of India is surrounded by water. The country is home to some breathtakingly beautiful beaches that provide everything from tranquillity to partying. The best beaches can be found on India’s west coast, with Gokarna being one of the most well-known beach destinations. Gokarna is a small, holy town in northern Karnataka surrounded by four of India’s most secluded beaches. It attracts both religious pilgrims and leisure travellers with equal zeal. Visit there to get a sense of what Goa was like in its heyday, albeit time is limited because developers have already recognised the area’s potential.
It’s always summer someplace, and for many people, that means going to the beach or going on vacation to a coastal town. If you think that spending time at the beach is restricted to swimming, you’re mistaken! Apart from swimming, here are some of the most enjoyable activities at to-do Gokarna beach.
Beach Trekking
Gokarna’s beaches are beautiful and tranquil, making them excellent for walking. Walk across acres of open space and continue exploring all of Gokarna’s beautiful beaches, which are all connected.

Nosh-Up at Beach Shacks
