Kudle Beach

Kudle Beach is a crescent-shaped sandy beach located south of Gokarna town in Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka, on the Arabian Sea coast. Known for its clean shoreline, gentle waves and relaxed atmosphere, it is one of Gokarna's five main beaches. Accessible via a short downhill path from the hilltop, the beach is lined with beach shacks, cafes and budget guesthouses and is popular for swimming, sunbathing, yoga and sunset views.

Visitors can expect a wide, curved sandy shoreline backed by palm-covered hills and a relaxed, backpacker-friendly atmosphere. The beach is accessed by a downhill walk from the hilltop parking area. The shoreline has beach shacks, cafes and small guesthouses offering food and accommodation, open sandy areas for walking and sunbathing, and clear views of the Arabian Sea. Swimming is possible in calm season, and evenings offer sunset views. The area is less crowded than Gokarna Main Beach but busier than Half Moon and Paradise beaches.

Part of Gokarna's five-beach coastal circuit alongside Om Beach, Half Moon Beach and Paradise Beach; known as a laid-back backpacker and yoga retreat destination that complements Gokarna's identity as a temple town.
