I was just zooming out Google Earth as a part of my journey from Goa to Kundapur and ended up noticing this place. I am glad that we could visit this place, this is beautiful black sand beach and sand looks exactly like sesame seeds hence the name (in hindi). From the base it takes close to 800m to reach the beach. It's a rocky terrain and I recommend carrying good shoes which we missed though. Beach is bit deep and it's better not to venture into deep water. I also recommend outsiders to visit it in the morning or in groups because place is bit isolated and no one can come to rescue if any untoward incident happens. Don't follow google map routes or there is a location says parking, it will be a problem and there are narrow roads. It's better to spend sometime to look for parking and don't take cars near the location since there is place for only 2 cars. It's a well preserved beach and please maintain the cleanliness and don't throw plastics and love...

From Karwar, you can take an auto (cost about INR 300). They take you till Majoli beach from where you need to trek about 1.5 KM. Alternative take a GOA Govt bus. If you are taking bus then the stop name is Majoli. Karnataka Govt buses do not stop here. From the bus stop there are Auto available which take you till majoli beach.
Note : you hardly get any auto back from Majoli beach to Main road.
Towards the right end of the beach, is where you see a Shivaji Flag, this is where you start the trek. Just climb the rock and follow a smal trail which leads from one peak to another.
There are couple of places where you need to cross water front.
Not advisable for night trek as there is absolutely no...
Read moreThe beach is really small, rocks on both sides. It has black sand which is good. But, it's quite a bit dirty ( nets, plastic etc). The climb is a bit difficult( very very narrow, steep at places, a lot of climbing up and down). There are pathways, but difficult to find which pathway to follow. The local villagers are extremely helpful and nice. They helped us with the directions multiple times, else we would have been lost there - giving two stars for them and the trek The trek itself is pretty good too.. definitely not suitable for children or elderly ( we didn't know that and struggled cos we took our kids too) if not for that, the views from the trek were awesome. But the beach itself was very very disappointing... We couldn't bathe there.. it was quite rocky nearby and the beach was very...
