Tarkarli Beach –A Tranquil Location for Beach Lovers

Tarkarli for me is heaven.The beach is popularly called as the “Queen Beach of Sindhudurg”. This beach serves as a convergence of Arabian Sea and Karli River.

How to reach: Its a small town located about 6 km South of Malvan (Konkan region) and 546 km from Mumbai.

Major attractions : Long stretch of beach with crystal clear waters. With its pristine beaches, green clear waters and sumptuous food, this beach has attracted huge crowd of people from all over the world. As it is close to Goa, foreigners are extending their trip to Tarkarli ensuring a delightful journey at this beach. The scenic beauty of the place and sightseeing of Dolphins is what holds the attention of many on their visit to Malvan.

Activities : Snorkelling, Scuba Diving

My personal experience: For me this place is close to my heart as it is located in my native place known as Malvan. I had been to this place many times and have seen infinite changes that has took place over here. Earlier this place was unheard by many people, as it is situated far away in a small town. But today, it has made its way in the list of beautiful beaches of India.

I have beautiful childhood memories of visiting Tarkarli beach with my family. I used to make sand houses and buy peanuts from an old man daily. Yet on my last visit to Tarkarli I observed tremendous changes right from playing activities to eating stuffs.

Now the crystal clear water allows tourists to indulge into water sports activities such as snorkelling and scuba diving. I had great time while doing water sports activity at the beach. I have observed many people visiting this place from all over the world within a short period of time. It is famous because of beautiful, clean beaches and historical fort of Shivaji known as Sindhudurg.

Food:Ultimate paradise for sea food lovers

Kombadi Wade

I am sea food lover and so I have big cravings for Pomphret, Prawns, Surmai, Mandeli and many more found over here. For vegetarians and non-vegetarians, do not miss the traditional food item called as solkadi. For non-veg people, you should definitely munch on Kombadi- Wade. Due to hot destination, you can easily find varieties of sumptuous food that includes Mumbai Chat, Chinese, Punjabi foods and many more. Whether you are vegetarian or non-vegetarian, the place has every mouth licking cuisines for tourists. I would even suggest you to visit the Malvan market to buy some fresh packets of cashew nuts available at affordable price .

You can also munch on Aam Papad,Amba wadi, Karwande wadi and Kokam wadi are great .

Accommodation facilities: If you are worried about staying facilities, then just relax. Enjoy staying at MTDC resorts, House Boats and Cottage houses near beach. Bookings in advance are advisable for comfortable staying facilities.
