Maravanthe is a village and a beach in Byndoor Taluk, Udupi District, Karnataka, India.

NH-66 (formerly NH-17) runs next to the beach and the Souparnika River flows on the other side of the road. ^[1] Outlook traveller said it is one of Karnataka's most beautiful beaches. ^[2]

The Suparnika River, which almost touches the Arabian Sea there, makes a U-turn and goes westward to join the sea after a journey of nearly more than 10 km (6.2 mi).

Economy

Fishing is the main activity. The infrastructure for marketing the seafood is not well developed. ^[3]
