Dhareshwar beach, situated approximately 15 kilometres from Kumta in Uttar Kannada, can be effortlessly accessed via National Highway 66 with a 10-minute drive from Kumta. This pristine beach boasts of its natural beauty and cleanliness. During our visit, the beach was not crowded, which made it an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway. The sunset view was breathtakingly beautiful, making it a perfect place for nature lovers. Apart from its scenic beauty, Dhareshwar is also known for its spiritual significance, thanks to the ancient Shiva temple located nearby. Although there are no restaurants on the beach, small shops situated 100 metres away provide basic amenities. If you are planning to spend more time here, there are a few resorts and lodges available within a 10-kilometre radius.
