Om Beach

About Om Beach

Om Beach is located around 6 km from Gokarna town along the Arabian Sea coast. The beach gets its name from the natural formation of two semicircular coves that together form the shape of the sacred symbol “Om” when viewed from an elevated point.

Unlike the main Gokarna Beach, Om Beach offers a mix of relaxation and adventure. It is popular among:

Pilgrims visiting Gokarna temples

Backpackers and international travelers

Adventure lovers (water sports)

Nature photographers

The beach is surrounded by rocky cliffs and small hills, offering trekking trails connecting it to nearby beaches like Kudle and Half Moon Beach. The calm ambiance in the mornings contrasts with the lively atmosphere in the evenings when visitors gather for sunsets.

It is one of the most photogenic beaches in Karnataka.
