Karde - A Vast Expanse..
Karde is one of the most secluded and tranquil beaches in the entire stretch of Dapoli beaches. A vast expanse of flat soft sandy beach awaits you at Karde. Karde beach is also a typical Dapoli beach with a thin film of white sand covering the underlying black sand giving it a very romantic appeal. Karde is the ideal destination to head for if you are looking for a quite romantic weekend.
The Karde beach is a very broad and long beach and extends far upto Burundi and Murud Harnai on either sides. Long walks in Karde can be really long if you are staying at the beach. You could also try riding your two wheeler along the beach to the adjoining beaches during low tides if you have travelled by a two wheeler. Towards the southern side of Karde is Ladghar and towards the north is Murud Harnai.
Maharshi Karve Photo Gallery
Dapoli has produced some great men who not only have made an impact on the state of Maharashtra but have made major contribution in shaping the culture and outlook of the nation. One such man was the great Maharshi Dr. Dhondo Keshav Karve. The first man on who the title of Bharat Ratna was bestowed up on has a memmorial photo gallery in his honour in Murud Harnai. Visit the gallery if you want to see some of the rarest and historic photographs of Maharshi Karve.
Karde is amongst the most popular beaches in Dapoli however the route to Karde can be slightly confusing. From Dapoli one needs to travel further ahead towards Anjarle. Approximately 10 Kms from Dapoli you would find the sighboard to Durga Devi temple, take this left turn until the tourist toll booth as you enter the tourist village. Take the left ahead of the toll booth to reach Karde.
