Maravanthe Beach, crossing the National Highway

A small stop near Maravanthe Beach.

Baindur comes after Kundapura, on the way a beautiful sea shore creates an imaginary place called maravanthe beach, a place famous for coastline national highway which crosses the sea shore closes in meters. One can enjoy their ride in monsoon on this highway which crosses the sea on one side and Souparnika River on other-side. Waves pushes the water to the other side of the highway and is just like a small film. Most of the visitors will stop their vehicles to fulfill thirsty of their eyes. One can click n,,, number of shots and catch the sound of the seashore, which is more audible than the crossing vehicles, most of the Karnataka coastlines provides a best scene and this one is on close.
