swimming
The beaches are pretty clean, but ask locally about swimming, as the currents can be very strong.
beaches
Visit one of the four beautiful beaches to the south see above. Kudle is popular with those that are staying in town but want to spend the day at the beach, while Om is popular with those wanting to stay a few days or weeks and stare at the sea. Accommodation in huts or shacks and food are available always on all the beaches from 100 basic bamboo hut on Kudle beach with mosquito net and electricity, outside shower and toilet to 600/- small cottage-type house with all necessary amenities per night in the peak season. Om beach, due to it's popularity, tends to be a bit more expensive. Also there are several restaurant-type cafes on this beach. Enjoy the sea, sunlight, beer by sitting in any of the cafes near the beach. Since it is not possible to go to Kudle beach when it is dark without a torch light the way to the beach winds around a hillock it is better to stay in the town for the night and trek to the beach the next morning.
