Om Beach

About Om Beach

Om Beach is a distinctive coastal stretch near the town of Gokarna in Karnataka, drawing visitors who come to swim, sunbathe and take in the scenery along the Arabian Sea. The beach is known for its unusual shape, which from above is said to resemble the sacred Hindu symbol from which it takes its name — a characteristic that sets it apart from the more straightforward stretches of sand found elsewhere along this coastline. Gokarna itself is a small pilgrimage town, and Om Beach sits within easy reach of its centre, making it simple to combine a visit here with the town's temples and quieter neighbouring coves. The atmosphere tends to be relaxed, attracting travellers looking for a less developed alternative to busier resort beaches further along the Karnataka coast.
