It is sad that educated and well informed people take unnecessary risks. To the best of my knowledge Murdeshwar Beech is not very safe for swimming. There is an excellent resort there and many tourists stay at Shetty's resort which is located in the Sea. Hope The Government arranges Life Guards at this cite.

RIP.. very sad incident..

I don't want to comment on this particular incident as there is no details given. But someone please tell those people arriving from outside coastal area not to treat sea as a play ground.. I feel so anguished when I see some people show off their power and techniques as soon as they reach the sea shore.... They don't know that it needs just one wrong wave that can finish of all their might that they think they possess.

Who will tell them. will they listen? big question
