About Karde Beach
Karde Beach is a four-kilometer stretch of shoreline located in the village of Karde, approximately 12 km from Dapoli town in Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra. Situated between Murud and Ladghar beaches along the Konkan coast, it is characterized by mixed silver and black sand and relatively low commercial development compared to neighboring beaches. The beach is noted for its serene environment, dolphin watching boat rides in the early morning, and proximity to resorts and camping areas.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a wide, relatively uncrowded sandy beach suitable for long walks and swimming in calm waters. Early morning dolphin watching boat rides are a primary activity available directly from the beach. The shoreline features a mix of silver and black sand with some rocky patches and rock barriers separating the beach from the access road. Basic accommodation and dining options are available nearby, though water sports facilities are limited or subject to regulatory permissions compared to adjacent Murud Beach.
