Eco Beach

Eco Beach is by far the most pristine and virgin beach on the Konkan coast. Originally known as Kasarkod Beach, it is closely guarded by a forest of casuarinas. This white sand beach is the cleanest of them all and slightly deserted as well. This beach stretches up to 5 km and it is a fantastic experience to walk on this sandy turf. Local tour operators on Murudeshwar main temple road can arrange a taxi that can take you to the beach. Access to the beach is not possible via public transport.

This is a picnic spot with an eco-friendly twist. The beach originated from the large 100-hectare park that was redeveloped jointly by the Tourism and Forest Departments and Kasarkod Village Forest Committee. The motive behind this beach is to promote eco-tourism around Karnataka and bring in tourists to the area. The park is apt for a family with kids, wherein children can have fun at the jungle gym, swing, plinth stones and even a trampoline that is installed in the park. One can find refreshments, eating joints and even clean washrooms. On select days, there are also boat rides that take you into the sea and step into the shoes of fishermen. To enter the park, one has to pay a nominal fee of INR 10 per adult and INR 5 per child.
