The beach village of Maravanthe is a hidden gem in Byndoor Taluk in the Udupi district. At first glance, it may seem like just another body of water by the side of the road, but it actually offers visitors so much more - it was even nicknamed Virgin Beach. With its unsullied expanse of azure waters such as Maravanthe Beach, Public Park Trasi Beach, and Namma Trasi Beach, one can’t help but gaze out into the seemingly endless horizon and swim in it. It beckons travelers who prefer a more serene and tranquil environment to properly de-stress. Moreover, while you’re here, you can enjoy a wide array of fun water activities such as beach-combing, parasailing, and jet skiing. You can also visit the nearby town, Murdeshwar, which houses several best hotels to choose from.
