How To Reach Sasihithlu Beach

Mangalore, Karnataka, India
Sasihithlu Beach is renowned for its pristine white sand and its tranquil, relatively untouched environment, making it a perfect getaway from the crowds of other Mangalore beaches. Its unique fame comes from being the site of the beautiful natural phenomenon known as a Sangama (confluence), where t he two rivers, Nandini and Shambhavi, meet and then flow together to merge into the Arabian Sea. This creates a unique estuary landscape with the backwaters on one side and the open sea on the other, all separated by the long stretch of white sand. The beach is also a growing hub for water sports, particularly surfing. It has gained international recognition as the venue for the annual All Cargo Indian Open of Surfing, attracting professionals and enthusiasts from around the world. Being less commercialized, the beach offers a serene, natural setting with lush greenery flanking the backwaters. The gentle slope of the shore and the clear waters make it an appealing spot, but visitors should be cautious of the strong tidal currents near the river confluence point. It is often referred to locally as KREC Beach due to its proximity to the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK). The blend of river, beach, and ocean ecosystems makes it a valuable site for nature lovers and bird watchers.
