Create an itinerary including Half Moon Beach
Nestled in a small, crescent-shaped bay, Half Moon Beach attracts mostly travelers looking to escape civilization and enjoy the serenity of unspoiled nature. To reach the beach, you have to hike from the neighboring Om beach, since this secluded strip of sparkling sand and black rocks is inaccessible from the road. The lush jungle in the background and the infinite ocean in front of you will make you feel like the last person left on earth. The cliff that separates the two beaches offers sprawling views over the Arabian Sea. To visit Half Moon Beach and other attractions in Gokarna, use our Gokarna travel route planner.

  • Very clean and heavenly. We spent more than an hour in that beach. Less crowded, good food options are available along with activities.
  • 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.
