A quiet coastal town near Murudeshwar, known for its clean beach, a seaside temple, and the stunning Ottinene viewpoint where the river meets the sea.
Baindur, often spelled Byndoor, is a coastal town in Karnataka situated about 30 kilometers south of Murudeshwar. It offers a quieter, less commercial atmosphere compared to its more famous neighbor. The main attraction here is the Someshwara Beach, a clean stretch of sand where the Someshwara Temple stands right at the edge of the water, creating a unique spiritual and natural setting. The waves often wash up to the steps of this ancient Shiva temple, especially during high tide.
