This is a crowded stretch of beach at sunset. On a warm and humid evening, most people wear shirts and long pants and some women wear a saree or salwar kameez. Not your typical North American beach scene. Few people get their feet wet and no one swims, partially due to hazardous currents. The water is warm.

| The NITK beach is a 5-minute walk from my room. The gate is open for sunrise 6-8AM and sunset 5-7PM. There is a guard. In the morning he has you sign in and out. I usually have a sunrise and sunset walk. |
 |
| A full moon sets while the sun rises and local fishing boats and a sandpiper forage. Fog or haze are common at sunrise and sunset. |
 |
| The Arabian Sea is to the west. During the monsoon season waves are constantly 1 meter or higher and the beach erodes away. A narrow strip of mangroves is behind the beach. |
 |
| The faint light to the left is one of several ships awaiting a berth at the port in Mangalore. |
