Pro Tips
Climb the lighthouse around 5 PM for the best sunset views (check timing as it opens only for a few hours in the evening).
Be careful while walking on the rocks near the lighthouse as they can be slippery.
Be prepared for the "Gokarna Trek" terrain; the trail between Kudle and Half Moon Beach involves steep basaltic rock scrambling that requires sturdy grip shoes.
Note that many Karwar beaches are under naval jurisdiction; stay within public boundaries to avoid trespassing into sensitive INS Kadamba zones.
Visit during post-monsoon season for the best water conditions.
Check tide timings before planning water activities.
