Diu beach in Gujarat has got a laid back atmosphere and is blessed
some of the most scenic beaches of situated on the west coast of
India. Gujarat has got the longest coastline of India, with a stretch
of the 1600-kms.
Beyt Dwarka
This is a popular pilgrimage center, always thronged with pilgrims
and tourists, still Dwarka has some fine stretches of beach to
offer where you can always find a peaceful spot to unwind. The
shore birds that gather in large numbers along the coast at dusk
are a beauty in itself.
Diu Beach
Diu Island is situated 125 kms from Junagadh. A sensuous blend
of sun, sand and deep blue sea, This beach island also grabs attention-
because of its Portuguese colonial period architecture reflected
beautifully in its churches, public buildings, bungalows, clean
wide roads, neat clean beaches etc.
Somnath & Veraval Beach
Crouched in the shadow of a Portuguese fort on the opposite, northern
side of the headland from Vagator, Chapora, 10-km from Mapusa,
is a lat busier than most north coast villages. Dependent on fishing
and boat building, it has, to a great extent, retained a life
of its own independent of tourism. The workaday indifference to
the annual invasion of Westerners is most evident on the main
street, lined with as many regular stores as travellers cafes
and restaurants.
