Apsarakonda… A Beach, Kerala River Vibe and a Waterfalls, all in one Place!

How often do you get to see a waterfall and ocean in the same place? Aslo you will feel the Kerala Vibe without going to Kerala here. Isn’t it amazing? And if you are interested in variety of landscapes for your pre-wedding photoshoot, this the readymade location. The best part is, you don’t have to bring any props, all are set here already.

I just went to this amazing spot near Honnavar called Apsarakonda Beach and I had to tell you about it. It’s seriously one of Karnataka’s best-kept secrets.

The beach is where the Sharavathi River meets the ocean, and it’s absolutely stunning. But get this – it’s literally become THE spot for pre-wedding photoshoots! When I was there, I counted at least ten couples with their photographers, and the locals told me sometimes there are up to 50 shoots happening in a single day. It’s crazy!

The coolest part? They have all these props set up right on the beach ready for anyone to use – an actual piano sitting in the sand, vintage doors standing by themselves, decorative chairs, even these cute artificial trees for backdrops. You don’t even need to bring anything – it’s like a permanent outdoor photo studio!

Just nearby are these Kerala-style backwaters where you can do all kinds of water sports. The water is super calm and perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. And here’s the kicker – there’s this gorgeous waterfall practically right next to the sea! Like, how often do you get to see a waterfall and ocean in the same view? It’s such a unique spot.

It’s the perfect combo of natural beauty and ready-made Instagram backdrops. The shallow, gentle water makes it super safe too, which is probably why it’s become so popular for these photoshoots.
