'''Maravanthe''' is a village and a [[beach]] in [[Byndoor Taluk]],[[Udupi]] District,[[Karnataka]], India.<br />
<br />
It is about 115&nbsp;km from industrial hub [[Mangalore]], 55&nbsp;km from [[Udupi]].18&nbsp;km from [[Kundapura]]. and 21&nbsp;km from [[Byndoor]]. NH-66 (erstwhile NH-17) runs next to the beach and the [[Souparnika River|Suparnika]] River flows on the other side of the road.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/protecting-a-25-km-spectacular-shoreline-at-maravanthe/article24010079.ece|title=Protecting a 2.5-km spectacular shoreline at Maravanthe|last=Sastry|first=Anil Kumar|date=2018-05-28|work=The Hindu|access-date=2019-07-19|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> ''Outlook traveller'' considers it one of Karnataka's most beautiful beaches.<ref name=outlook/><br />
<br />
The Suparnika River, which almost touches the [[Arabian Sea]] here, makes a U-turn and goes westward to join the sea after a journey of nearly more than 10&nbsp;km (6.2&nbsp;mi).<br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
Fishing is main activity of the fisher folk of this area, but infrastructure for marketing the marine produce is not well developed.<ref>Role Of Fisheries In Rural Development, by S. Giriappa, Daya Books (1994) {{ISBN|9788170351269}}, Page 46. [https://books.google.com/books?id=mhYj-cnzV10C&pg=PA46&dq=maravanthe&hl=en&sa=X&ei=roAXUNPLFoPirAf42ICACw&ved=0CGIQ6AEwCTgU#v=onepage&q=maravanthe&f=false]</ref> Native boats and small diesel trawlers are used for fishing. Seafaring is avoided during the monsoons. Agriculture is another important activity, with coconut, paddy, and onion being the main crops.<br />
<br />
==Education==<br />
Primary education and high School education is available in the village. Students go to nearby [[Kundapura]] taluk centre for higher education.<br />
<br />

<br />
