Mochemad Beach (Sindhudurg)

9th June 2015, Tuesday

Further north of Aravali Beach is the Mochemad Beach separated by a creek. As you pass the creek on your way to Mochemad, you can stop on the bridge for a picturesque view. Going to the beach can be a little confusing. So better stop and ask for directions as to which turn to take.

There was no one on the beach when I went there. The whole coastline from Shiroda to Mochemad is where you can stroll around peacefully - alone. On the other side of the cliff lie the Sagareshwar and Vengurla Beach.

Going further north along the coast from Shiroda Beach comes the Aravali Beach. When I reached this beach there wasn't a soul there but me. Just the sound of the waves and the wind for company. Serene!

Walking further north, one reaches the Mochemad Creek which separates the Mochemad Beach.

There are beautiful temples in Aravali to see, namely the Vetoba Mandir and Narayan Mandir in Asoli which you can reach via Sakhelekhol.

Shiroda - Velagar Beach (Sindhudurg)

9th June 2015, Tuesday

After seeing the beaches and temples in Redi, I headed up north along the coast, first to Shiroda Beach.

The coast in this area consists of multiple beaches - Shiroda Beach, Velagar Beach, Aravali Beach and Mochemad Beach. On the way to Shiroda, we pass through many salt pans. There are Casuarina Trees called as Saru Trees all along the beaches.

Beautiful!

4. Fort Yashwantgad
I lost my way going to Fort Yashwantgad. Didn't take the correct turn. The fort is in a state of ruins. From the fort, one can see the Shiroda Beach on the other side of the river. It is also know as Redi Fort.

I'll click and share the photos of Fort Yashwantgad if I happen to go to Redi in the future.
