Half Moon Beach
A small bay south of Om Beach, reachable only on foot or by boat. Its calm sand makes it a good escape from the crowds.
Half Moon Beach is a crescent-shaped cove with no road access. You can walk the cliff path from Om Beach in about 30 minutes, or take a boat from Om Beach for roughly INR 300 to 500 per person one way, which is cheaper if you share. The beach has only a few simple shacks and cafés, and some offer overnight stays. The bay is calm, but there are many rocks, so take care when swimming. The walk has no shade, so avoid midday and bring drinking water and sunscreen.
