Maravanthe is a village and a beach in Byndoor Taluk, Udupi District, Karnataka, India.
NH-66 (formerly NH-17) runs next to the beach and the Souparnika River flows on the other side of the road.[1] Outlook traveller said it is one of Karnataka's most beautiful beaches.[2]
The Suparnika River, which almost touches the Arabian Sea there, makes a U-turn and goes westward to join the sea after a journey of nearly more than 10 km (6.2 mi).
Economy
Fishing is the main activity. The infrastructure for marketing the seafood is not well developed.[3]
Tourism
The Maravanthe beach is nicknamed Virgin Beach.[2] It has been identified by government agencies as having potential for tourism with leaflets proclaiming several facilities.[4]
At the nearby Gangolli port, tourists can join fishermen in their fishing trips.[5]
