Chorwad Beach
Chorwad, a small fishing village is a great place to enjoy.
Chorwad is famous for rocky shores and boat riding. It is also
a base to visit places like Porbandar, Somnath etc. A resort
is there which was previously a palace built by Nawab Saheb
Mohabbat Khan as a vacation spot on hot summer days where he
held weddings of his dogs, royal banquets and processions
amidst cool breezes from the sea.

catch. |

Gopnath Beach
Gopnath is just 80 kms from Bhavnagar. It was the summer home
of Maharaja Krishna Kumar Singhji of Bhavnagar. The
breathtakingly beautiful sea coast with it's spectacular
limestone cliffs and great views, sea breezes and colourful
birdlife, must have made an excellent break from the city
during the summer months. The Gopnath beach has firm sands for
walking and shallow shore waters for wading. But the high
tidal difference of the coast, makes the water murky and not
very inviting for a long swim. Gopnath is the base for some
spectacular sightseeing. |

Dwaraka Beach
Dwaraka is an important city for Hindu Pilgrimage. The city is
famous for the Dwarkadish temple or Jagat Mandir. Today it is
not only a major pilgrimage site but a pleasant spot for a

crowded by pilgrims one can always find quiet spots too. Large
number of birds could be seen on the coast. There is a small
island covered with temples, a white beach, coral reefs and
extensive marine life. Dolphins and porpoise can be seen on
the surface, sea turtles, octopus, star fish, sea urchins etc.
inhabit the beach. |
