Devbaug - A little Peninsular

A small peninsular jutting out of the main land Devbaug has the Karli backwaters on one side and the vast blue ocean on the other with the Devbaug sangam at one end. Devbaug is blessed with natural beauty and is covered in coconut palms and lush greenery. An erstwhile fishing hamlet Devbaug now is developing into a tourist destination with a good majority of youth prefering the tourism industry to fishing.
Devbaug has a distinct appeal similar to south Goa with grottos and crosses adorning the quaint hamlet intermittently. The Devbaug beach is a secluded stretch of beach extending from the Devbaug Sangam to Tarkarli and further. The beach for most parts is very clean with white sand and the turquoise blue sea complementing it. The backwaters on one side of Devbaug gives it a completely different feel and makes it a unique beach destination in Maharashtra.

Devbaug sangam where Karli river meets the sea is truely a beautiful spot. devbaug sangam is also a snorkeling site. Boating is available and there is a small shack 'restaurant' here.

Devbaug in Malvan district is amongst the beaches of southern Maharashtra and it will take approximately 8-10 hrs to reach Devbaug from Pune or Mumbai however the its definitely worth the effort. You can also use train as the mode of transport especially if you are traveling from Mumbai. Devbaug being a beach close to Kolhapur is amongst the favourite weekend beach destinations from Kolhapur.
Smack in the middle of Karli river is an Island which mysteriously appeared after the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean and hence is called the Tsunami islands! Now Tsunami islands is one of the most popular destinations in Devbaug. Water sports is also available in Tsunami Island. Earlier parties and dinner were organized in the island for big groups by local fishermen but lately it has been stopped.
Devbaug - +/- ?..

Being a fishing hamlet about 5-10% of Devbaug beach is used for drying fish and is better avoided unless you like the smell of drying fish which can be considered as a disadvantage however this on the other hand ensures you of freshly caught fish and deliciously cooked malvani food!
