Om Beach

Om Beach is Gokarna's most iconic and beautifully shaped beach — a natural crescent of sand that forms the sacred Om symbol when viewed from above, surrounded by dramatic rock headlands and green hills. One of Karnataka's most photographed beaches and a top South India travel destination for backpackers, yoga practitioners, and beach lovers. Water sports (kayaking, body boarding), cliff diving, and sunset views are the main activities. Best October to March. Free entry.
