River Shambhavi & The Hidden Beach
River Shambhavi flows 50 km from the Western Ghats down to the Arabian Sea at Mulki. Because it touches no large cities, the water remains clean, calm, and flanked by thick mangrove canopies.
Our surf beach sits on a sandbar across the river with no public motor roads. While walking there requires a 4 km trek through sand, our club paddles across in just 1 km. Every evening, we paddle out to the sandbar to watch sunset over the Arabian Sea.
