The Kodi Sea Walk in Kundapur, Udupi
The Kodi Sea Walk is about 1km long and flanked by water. It was constructed on a breakwater on the Kodi beach and lets visitors feel like they’re walking into the sea. A protective wall on both sides keeps the experience visual and keeps waves from crashing on people.
If you’re the adventurous type, you can go across the protective wall and find a seat on any of the tetrapods. Or, just perch yourself on the wall of the sea walk and enjoy the sun setting over the sea in front of you and swaying palms behind you.
