Kodi Beach

Kodi Beach is a coastal beach located at Kodi village near Kundapura in Udupi district, Karnataka, where the Suvarna River meets the Arabian Sea forming a delta. Known locally as Delta Beach, it features a long stretch of sandy shoreline, fishing boats and a tranquil estuarine landscape. The beach is noted for sunset views, backwater boating and its relatively uncrowded setting compared to more commercial beaches in coastal Karnataka.

Visitors can expect a wide sandy beach at the confluence of the Suvarna River and the Arabian Sea with calm backwaters on one side and sea waves on the other. The setting includes fishing boats, nets, a small harbour area and views of the estuary and delta point. The beach is open and relatively undeveloped, suitable for walking along the shore, photography, watching fishermen at work and viewing sunset over the sea. A short boat ride in the backwaters is often available near the delta.

Kodi is a traditional fishing settlement at the Suvarna River estuary; the beach and delta area has long supported local fishing communities and small-scale boat operations.

The beach reflects the coastal fishing culture of the Kundapura region, with daily fishing activities, boat launching and seafood-related livelihoods forming part of the local way of life.
