Situated 6 kms south of Malvan and 546 kms away from Mumbai on the coast of Maharashtra is Tarkarli. The major attraction here is the long and narrow stretch of beach, with its pristine waters. On a clear day, you can see the sea bed through a depth of 20 ft.

Then, of course there are the forts. Sindhudurg, one of Maharashtra's more popular and important sea forts, built in the 17th century and the famous Padmagarh fort.

While in Tarkali, make sure to visit the restaurant for the delectable cuisine and experience something unusual-staying in MTDC's inviting Konkani Huts.
