Half Moon Beach Tourism
Type of destination: Beach/Nature
Ideal visit duration: 2-4 hours
Half Moon Beach in Gokarna is a serene and relatively smaller beach compared to others in the town. Its unique crescent shape is how it got its name. Unspoiled by commercial tourism, it offers a perfect escape into nature with its clear blue waters, the exotic landscape of lush green hills and golden sands. The beach is accessible either by a moderate hike over the headland from Om Beach or by a boat ride. It's a great spot for travelers seeking tranquility and a touch with the local flora and fauna. It boasts a few basic beach shacks and huts for food and accommodation. Due to its seclusion, it has a peaceful atmosphere ideal for relaxing, indulging in some light beach sports, swimming, and even spotting dolphins if you're lucky.
