Maravanthe: The entire Karnataka West coast of 300 Kms is a natural delight to behold, but still there are some areas like Ullal, Tanner Bavi, Murdeshwar, Maravanthe and Karwar that beat other spots in Karavali region for sheer natural scenery having sea, beaches, rivers, hillocks and winding roads around. Near Kundapura and Trasi Town, Maravanthe is one place people cannot forget once they reach there by car or bus, and get down to walk on the beach. The sea is on the left as you go to Sirur and Seetha river (also called Sauparnika) is on the right with the highway passing over them in the middle. In rainy season, Arabian Sea waves lash the beach, stones put there for human protection and jump on to the highway before receding smartly into the sea. The beauty of Maravanthe has been enriched now by growing trees on the beach to contain unruly sea waters. This presence of greenery has given a new feather in the cap worn by Maravanthe seashore. The plants and trees raised there are of various flower trees as well to attract passing tourists. There are no dangers around.

The special geographical situation created at Maravanthe by the national highway has thrown up tourist ambitions of making a resort there. But the green plants have added value to the beauty seen there.

A stonewall has seen unnecessarily built there only to crumble and spread out into broken stones  on the beach which actually should be walked over by people visiting the place, including filmwallahs cutting a scene, a dance or a song on it. The green plants have blooming flowers of another colour on them to present variety to the eye.

Around October every year, in autumn after terrific rains of monsoon, the beach takes on a new bathed beauty. The flowers fall out on beach floors to reduce heat on the sandbeds spread out there. The foreign tourists hungering for a sun-bath could go wild in such areas. The scenic attraction beckons you again and again, and leaves a nostalgic memory if you are only passing through, without staying there is a hotel. Udupi district Nirmiti Kendra is to the forefront to design and enhance the beauty of a lovely star called Maravanthe.
