If you are a person for some adventure and if you don't mind waking up early and trekking, this place is for you. there is no proper access to this beach, however, there's two cafe's here, apart from trekking your way to it, you can take a boat if you aren't looking forward for a trek but trust me the views of the trek from om beach to Half moon are really awesome, check the pictures which I'll add for the place. There's a trail which you can follow, however you'll have to make small diversions from the trail as this trail doesn't have much frequency there will be some bushes which will be obstructing the way or if you aren't willing to climb over some boulders, which are manageable if you traverse them with care. this is the longest trail of all the distances you'll have to cover if you wish to make it to the port from Om beach by foot. I had my friend who came with me till paradise and few local dogge's which came as company with us till half way which was fun.

You have to hike across the Half moon beach to visit this place. Took a halt there during my hike, and it felt so peaceful and amazing there. The view of blue water surrounded by coconut tree is speechless
