Malvan Beach
This is one of the most commercially active beaches in the Konkan.
It is buzzing with life at the jetty where most of the fishermen
anchor their boats of various dimensions and colors. There are a
few bars and restaurants on the beach unlike most other seashores
on the Sindhudurg coast. It is one of the friendliest atmospheres
alive with banter among the locals.
This beach is not a place for relaxation; however,
it is close to the city centre and perhaps the most accessible
beach in the area. Another promising forthcoming attraction here
is a one of its kind marine park in Asia. The government has
proposed the marine park since 2000, but there has not been any
action on it yet. The area of Malvan is a fortified island on the
coastal reef. Coral patches have been recorded in the interstitial
regions around the Sindhudurg fort. Most of these marine flora and
fauna from the inter-tidal area is exposed during any low tide. So
keep an eye out for a great opportunity for scuba diving. However,
for now the best attraction on this beach remains to be the
Sindhudurga fort.

A confluence of the Karli River flowing into the Arabian Sea. This
point marks the southern most tip of the Malvan taluka. The beach
lures to the tourists by its stunning white sand and beautiful
blue water lagoon, thus an idealist spot for swimming , sunbathing
and pick nicking. Flock of local sea birds add to the beauty of

bordering Malvan town from North West. It is a very small beach,

Tondavali
Beach
(25km North of Malvan)
This is perhaps the true manifestation of an untouched beach. It
had to hike almost a km from the road to get to the shore but it
was totally worth the drain. When I first saw a glimpse of the
shore from the end of the tree thickets, I could identify with a
feeling of someone who discovers new land. Not a single soul here
and the sand had just patterns of sea wind. Fine grains of soft
white particles urged everyone to feel them without footwear. Cool
waters splashing away you almost feel sorry no one watches this
phenomenon abundantly.
A definite must visit. Highly recommended to have your own vehicle

Achara Beach
(22km north of Malvan)
This one is a paradise for swimmers and dolphin watchers. Dolphin
season is between October and February. It is a few km ahead of Tondavali beach. It is quite popular during season time. There are
some fishing activities around here but mostly it is a good space
to chill with the sea waves.
