Kaup Beach Lighthouse
ಕಾಪು ದೀಪಸ್ತಂಭ
A white lighthouse built in 1901 on rocky shores. In the evening, visitors can climb up for views of the beach and the sunset over the Arabian Sea.
Kaup Beach is about 13 km south of Udupi, and it is known for its white lighthouse, built in 1901 on rocks by the sea. In the evening, you can pay to climb the lighthouse for views of the coastline and the sunset. The rocks below connect to the sandy beach, making it good for photos and walks. The beach has a renovated walkway and recreational facilities, but the currents near the rocks are complex, so swimming is not advised. The lighthouse usually opens in the afternoon, and tickets cost about 50 rupees. It can be combined with Padubidri Beach on the same trip.
Opening hours
Beach open all day; tower climb approx. 4:30–6:00 PM
