Kodi beach with seawalk, swings, boating in Kundapura

March 2022 Update: Past 2 years I have visited Kodi beach at least a dozen times with family & friends. The post has been updated with some latest photos, links and updates.

Kodi beach is Kundapura’s main beach and very popular with locals. Kodi beach is where Panchagangavalli river joins Arabian sea. 

A well maintained sea walk lets people walk along the estuary into the ocean.

Multiple food outlets selling juice, snacks n tea are available near Kodi beach.

Boating is also available in Kodi beach, but currently suspended due to Covid and Monsoon.

Regular sand beach is also available.

A light house exists near Kodi beach. Public access is now available after Covid has ended. There is an entry fee of 10 INR per person plus 20 INR extra if you are using camera (even mobile camera).

Kodi beach has a swing as well- check this post for more details. (2022 Update: Looks like this has been lost in recent construction work. Couldn't spot it during last visit)

In fact the term Kodi is used across the coast till Udupi. We have Kodi Bengre near Hangarakatte, Kanyana Kodi, Kota Kodi, Koteshwara Kodi etc- tied to nearest towns.

The beachside drive is also scenic- you can drive from Kundapura all the way till Sasthana on the beach side road which passes through coconut trees on one side and Arabian sea on the other.
