Sasihithulu Beach could become a favoured destination for surfers

The Sasihithulu Beach in Dakshina Kannada district could become a favored destination for surfers as the administration declared that the beach would be exclusively dedicated to the sport. In May, the second edition of the Indian open Surfing was hosted at the beach - thereby, it found a place on the country's surfing map.
At an event organized by the coastal Karnataka tourism and the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), it was indicated that Sasihithulu Beach has emerged as a potential surfing destination and the authorities would go all out to promote it.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 15 December 2016.

The authorities are determined to make the beaches in the district lively and vibrant to justify the amount of money that the government is investing in them. Surfers are often forced to seek places on beaches, far from teeming crowds, in order to avoid injuries both to themselves and other revelers. Moreover, the ebb and flow of the tidal swell at Sasihithulu Beach is ideal for surfing.
However, there are arguments that the beach was too far from the city and the alternate of Panambur Beach be promoted as a destination for surfers.
