Delta Point
Sub Place Details: Delta Point, located at the tip of the Kodi Bengare peninsula, is one of the most breathtaking natural spectacles in Coastal Karnataka. It is the precise point where the Suvarna River merges into the Arabian Sea. This narrow strip of land has the river on one side and the sea on t he other, creating a unique 'Delta' effect. The drive to Delta Point is as beautiful as the destination itself, with the road winding through dense coconut groves and traditional fishing villages. Kodi Bengare is also famous for being a hub for water sports, particularly surfing and kayaking. The backwaters of the Suvarna River are calm and perfect for beginners to try their hand at paddling. The beach here is pristine, with golden sands and significantly fewer crowds than the nearby Malpe Beach. It is a place where you can truly connect with nature and witness the raw power of the ocean meeting the tranquility of the river. The local fishing community adds a cultural layer to the visit, as you can see them casting nets or drying fish along the shore. The 'Sangam' (confluence) creates interesting water patterns and a soothing soundscape that is incredibly relaxing. It is a favorite spot for locals to spend their evenings, watching the sun dip below the horizon where the two water bodies become one. Small shacks near the point serve fresh seafood and coconut water, making it a perfect half-day getaway from the city life of Udupi. The atmosphere is laid-back and reflects the true 'Sussegad' vibe of the coast.
