Bhatkal is another beach that is as yet off the tourist map. But this is not a deserted beach like Kasarkod. There's a small settlement of people, mostly fishermen, who live by the beach. But from a tourist perspective, there's nothing there. Not a shack, or a shop for refreshments. No public transports except an occasional Autorickshaw from Bhatkal town 7 kms away.As a result of this seclusion from the rest of the world, the beach here is pretty unspoilt. It's another vast beach that you would enjoy walking on. But beware of the huge crabs crawling over the grainy sand beach. The heat as everywhere we went was a killer. But thanks to some huge boulders on the the beach we could get some respite from the unrepenting Sun. It was an ideal spot to relax, with a book in hand.
Getting-there: 15kms from Murudeshwar. Buses available from Murudeshwar and Kollur.
Must-Do: Get a book and have a relaxed time with the soothing sounds of the ocean.
Must-Don't: Choose the summer to visit the place. Littering this paradise-on-earth.
Thanks for the info

ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a good place to relax without having to bear with too many people around. But be warned that you will not get anything to eat or drink around this beach or town!!
