Dapoli, situated in the heart of Konkan in Maharashtra, is one such destination that offers less crowded beaches with fun water sports and other activities. This quaint town of Dapoli was once a military camp for the British soldiers. Today, one can enjoy the authentic Konkan vibe

    here through its food and culture. Learn about the main occupation here- fishing, illustrated through the many beach side markets which pop up early in the morning. If you are a seafood lover, you’ll have many opportunities to sample lip-smacking delicacies. A local meal comprises a combination of kokam kadi, rice and fresh fried fish variants, made with fiery spices. The mention of Dapoli brings to mind beaches. Its long coastal stretch covers Kelshi, Dabhol and Burondi with some beautiful beaches. Among these beaches are Karde Beach, Kelshi Beach, Murud Beach, Ladghar Beach, Kolthare Beach and Tamas Thirth Beach. Dapoli also has pieces of history to showcase through its many sea side forts.
