Half Moon Beach, Gokarna

By far one of the best beaches I had been to during my stay at Gokarna with clean shore and water. This is an off-beat beach which requires 10-15 mins of hiking to reach and is not frequented by tourists. When I had been there, I (along with my friends) were the only people on the beach. There is one café at the beach which serves basic snacks and drinks where you can relax and look at the beach. However, this beach is not easily accessible if you do not have a two-wheeler.

This is a beautiful beach, you can reach here either by trek or ferry ride. I won't suggest ferry ride since it costs 300-500 per head. I suggest to have trek. Away from the civilizations and into the arms of nature. The trek is pretty nice and have beautiful views along side. The beach is calm and peaceful. To reach halfmoon beach, one should walk towards the southern end of the Om beach and walk up a narrow trail that leads to Dolphin cafe. Just outside the cafe, there is a white sign board indicating the direction towards half moon beach.
