Anjarle Beach

Anjarle Beach, located in Dapoli Taluka, is one of the most serene and unspoiled beaches in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. Known for its soft white sand, crystal-clear waters, and minimal commercial development, Anjarle offers a peaceful escape from the hustle of city life.

This crescent-shaped beach stretches along a clean coastline surrounded by coconut palms, casuarina trees, and traditional Konkani homes. Unlike more popular tourist spots, Anjarle Beach remains untouched and quiet, making it ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers seeking solitude and natural beauty. The gentle waves and shallow waters make it a safe spot for swimming and beach walks.

One of the unique aspects of Anjarle is its location near the confluence of the Jog River and Arabian Sea, creating a backwater-like estuary rich in biodiversity. Bird watchers can spot various coastal and migratory birds here. The beach is also known for being a nesting site for Olive Ridley turtles, and during the season (February to April), one can witness turtle hatchlings being released into the sea by local conservation groups.

Local attractions include the Kadyavarcha Ganpati temple, Kelshi village, and Suvarnadurg Fort. Visitors can also enjoy homestays and fresh Konkani cuisine, particularly seafood and traditional sweets like Modak and Ghavan.
