[Karde, Ratnagiri, India] The Beautiful Beaches of the Konkan Coast: Serene Karde

Maharashtra is blessed with a beautiful coastline dotted with many sandy beaches.  This winter, we spent a few days at Karde beach (near Dapoli) in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Our daily routine included morning swims in the blue sea, long walks on the beach to greet sandpipers and plovers, building complex structures in the sand, and watching the sun set over the Arabian sea.  The Journey: It took us approximately five hours to reach Karde from Pune by road.
