A popular Gokarna beach famous for its natural shape resembling the 'Om' symbol, with beachside cafes and boat rides to nearby coves.
Om Beach is one of Gokarna's most famous coastal spots, named for its unique shape that resembles the auspicious 'Om' symbol (ॐ). The beach is formed by two semi-circular coves that join together, separated by a rocky outcrop. This natural formation is best viewed from the hills surrounding the beach. The atmosphere here is a mix of relaxed beach-goer and spiritual seeker, reflecting Gokarna's dual identity as both a pilgrimage site and a travel destination.
