A scenic beach in Karnataka known for the ancient Someshwara Temple situated on its shore, beautiful rock formations, and stunning sunset views.
Discover what makes this destination truly special
Byndoor Beach is a beautiful stretch of coastline along the Arabian Sea in the Udupi district of Karnataka. Its most distinctive feature is the ancient Sri Someshwara Temple, which stands right at the edge of the shore, making it a unique combination of a spiritual site and a natural retreat. The beach itself is known for its clean golden sands and a series of large rock formations that jut out into the sea, offering dramatic views, especially during sunset. Unlike more commercialized beaches, Byndoor maintains a quieter atmosphere, making it ideal for peaceful walks and relaxation.

December-January, weekends, and on festival days like Mahashivaratri when the temple attracts large crowds.
