Tarkarli Beach
तारकर्ली
A long beach of fine white sand and crystal-clear water, dubbed the 'Queen of the Konkan Coast', with seaside cottages run by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation.
Tarkarli Beach lies about 7 km south of Malvan, stretching for several kilometres along a sandbar between the Karli River and the Arabian Sea. The sand is bright white, backed by rows of casuarina and coconut palms. The water is far clearer than around Mumbai, which is why the beach is called the 'Queen of the Konkan Coast'. Water sports include banana boat rides, speedboats and paragliding. In the evening you can watch the sunset and fishermen hauling in their nets. The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation's seaside resort sits right on the beach, and many family-run homestays nearby serve authentic Malvani fish curry and fried pomfret. The beach is free, but it gets crowded on public holidays.
