Ottinene Viewpoint

Ottinene Viewpoint is a hilltop scenic overlook located on National Highway 66 near Byndoor in Udupi district, Karnataka. Perched above the Arabian Sea coastline, it offers panoramic views of the highway, Maravanthe Beach, Souparnika River estuary and surrounding hills. Known for sunset views, the viewpoint is a popular stop for travelers between Mangaluru and Karwar and provides a broad vista of the coastal landscape where river, sea and road converge.

Visitors can expect a hilltop viewpoint accessed by a short uphill walk and steps from NH66, with a paved viewing platform and railings overlooking the Arabian Sea, Maravanthe Beach, Souparnika River backwaters, and the coastal highway. The setting is open and windy with expansive sea and landscape views, especially at sunset. Visitors can explore the platform area, take photographs, and observe the convergence of river, sea and road from an elevated vantage point.
