Devbag Beach & Sangam
देवबाग
At the tip of a slender sandbar, the Karli River meets the Arabian Sea. One side is calm backwater and the other is open ocean, and dolphin-watching boat trips depart from here.
Devbag lies on a narrow sandbar south of Tarkarli, with the calm backwater of the Karli River on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other. At the southern tip is Sangam, where river and sea meet. The contrast between the two colours of water is striking, and this is the area's most famous view. Boat trips from here usually include an early morning outing to see dolphins, a visit to Tsunami Island, and birdwatching at the river mouth. They last about 1 to 2 hours and cost a few hundred rupees per person. The sandbar has many homestays facing the backwater, along with stalls offering water activities. The current at the meeting point is strong, so never swim there.
