Murud Beach (Dapoli)
मुरुड समुद्रकिनारा
A long sandy beach on the far side of Karde, with a Durga temple in the village and the hometown of 18th-century reformer Karve.
Murud Beach lies about 8 km west of Dapoli and extends north from Karde Beach. Its wide, quiet sands see fewer visitors than Karde, with water sports and horse riding nearby. At low tide you can often spot starfish and shells on the sand. Murud village is a traditional Konkan village with a Durga temple, and it is also the birthplace of D.K. Karve, a pioneer of women’s education. Note that it should not be confused with Murud-Janjira in Raigad district. You can combine it with Karde Beach for a seaside walk.
