Achara Beach

Beach · Malvan, Sindhudurg

A quiet beach north of Malvan near Achara village, with soft sand, casuarina trees and few crowds.

Achara is a coastal village north of Malvan, and its beach is one of the quieter ones of the Malvan taluka. A long line of sand is backed by casuarina trees, with fishing boats pulled up on the shore and very few tourist stalls.

People come here for a peaceful walk, a swim in calm weather, or a sunset away from the busier beaches of Malvan and Tarkarli. The village is also known for the old Rameshwar temple, so many visitors combine the two.

There are only a few places to eat and stay near the beach, mostly small and family-run, so it is worth asking ahead in the season.

Swim only in calm water close to the shore, and keep out of the sea in the monsoon.

Best time to visit

October to May.
