Tarkarli Beach

Reviewed By VinodMohit

Reached from Mumbai to Kudal by train and connecting bus to Malvan which is about 30 km away. Another bus for Devbag which is about 10 km away.The name Tarkarli is derived from the river Karli which flows in the area. Tar means the river side. Every house here is involved directly or indirectly with tourism industry. Most families have built few rooms for the tourists to occupy- home stay. They prepare home food and serve to the tourists. Beach cottages plentiful. Here people are very good and helpful. Beach is neat and clean with sea water transparent. Hotels here want the customers to book food in advance and then they prepare for the order, there by serving you fresh food. Choice of food is generally limited. Few hotels like Coastal Galaxy has good food choices. One can enjoy water sports at Tsunami island which is reachable by ferries which charge about Rs 500 for the cruise. They take you around for half an hour's journey showing you the Dev sangam the mingling of sea and the river. Here on Tsunami island one can take various rides like Water skiing, banana ride, sofa ride etc for Rs 200 each or package of Rs 500 for three rides. There is also provision for para sailing and scuba diving for which charges are about Rs 800 and Rs 1000 respectively. Walk on the Devbaug beach is very pleasant. One can safely go in the water and enjoy neat and clean water. It's so transparent that you can see the sand below. Sunset scene here is magnificent. One can enjoy the sunrise scene at Tarkarli beach which is about 3 km from Devbaug. Here various camel and horse rides are available. Coconut trees are plentiful. Coconut water here is much sweeter than what one gets in Mumbai. Sindhudurg fort can be reached from Malvan. For reaching it, one has to take a small boat ride which charges Rs 90 per head. Rock garden at Malvan is nicely managed. It's worth a visit. Good time to visit is December January. At Malvan one can enjoy the local delicacy Malvan Khaja. It is vary tasty and has mild sweetness and ginger. Malvan fish dishes are great. Doelkars spices shop is popular and one can take home malvani spices and other delicacies.

My first trip after lifting of lockdown from Mumbai to Ganpatipule in Ratnagiri district. I was stunned by the beauty of the beach here. I booked a deluxe AC view room in the MTDC resort and the view from the balcony was mind blowing. The beach was super clean and the sea water was turquoise blue coloured.The views in the bright sunny morning, during the dawn and the early morning post dawn times were all stunning to say the least.Could manage to get some out of the world clicks with my brand new iPhone 12.

Talashil Tondavali Beach

Reviewed By soumyad938 - Pune, India

This amazing beach extends 10 kilometers till the peninsula. One the cleanest beach i have ever visited in the Konkan. Amazing view with dolphins surfing by is a common sight in the morning hours. If you are fond authentic Malvani cuisine, you have many home stays to cater to this craving ad well. To satisfy the adventurous Dennis within, a variety of watersports can be tried. Being a very clean beach, you can also play football which is really an amazing experience. In case you opt for a night stay in any of the multiple homestays just next to the beach, you can even sit and gaze at the clear nightsky or enjoy the moonlit sea till late in the night. Being an almost private beach you are all on your own.

Devbagh Beach

Reviewed By Sammit52002

We have visited Devbagh a couple of times in the last 3 years. It is a beautiful serene beach. The best part of it is the confluence of the Arabian sea with Karli River - a place little further to Devbagh beach called "Devbagh Sangam". This point has a small joint where visitors can sip on tea/coffee/nimboo sharbat etc. with Hammocks. Must visit.

Reviewed By Manish178 - Hyderabad District, India

One of the best beaches in the country. The most pristine one. This place was a treat for the family. We had a great time watching the sunset and the local fishermen busy with their livelihood. The sand is so soft that it feels like cushions. Perfect combination of hills and sea view.
