Dapoli - Mahabaleshwar of Konkan, Dapoli at an altitude of about 800 ft above sea level offers a real 'hug the clouds and kiss the sand' experience. The winding roads climbs up hills and pass through paddy fields to end up in sandy beaches.
Murud is the most popular beach in Dapoli, a word of caution here, Please don't confuse 'Murud' - Harnai with 'Murud' - Janjira near Alibag. Though their names are similar, they are located about 100 Kms apart from each other!!

Durga Devi temple is right at the start of the way leading to Murud beach is one of the most important temples in this part of Dapoli and is a must see during a visit to Murud. The temple is over 300 years old.
Located about a quarter of a mile off the coast from Harnai port is the fascinating Suvarnadurg Fort. A rocky island, Suvarnadurg is about 8 acres big with stone wall bastions. There is no landing jetty at the Suvarnadurga fort. The fort also had a ship building facility.
Harnai Fishing harbour is located just north of Murud. The harbour is famous for the fish auctions that happen everyday which is an awe inspiring affair. The fish auctions at Harnai happen every day at about 6 in the evening.
Just as you reach Murud Dapoli you will see the Durga devi Mandir. This temple is more than 300 years old. A right turn from the temple will take you to oean Breeze Dapoli in less than 5 minutes.
The majestic sea fort of Suvarnadurg is located very close to Ocean Breeze Dapoli. To get a boat to visit Suvarnadurg fort one has to visit the Harnai port.
Harnai is the main fishing village. Every evening hundreds of fishing boats come back after fishing and gather to auction their catch which is a grand event..
Murud Dapoli is known as the go to beach for water sports in Dapoli. All the water ride including parasailing in the sea is available at Murud.
It's an amazing place with great location, the beach is just a stones throw away. Food is awesome, thalipith and ghavan are must try. The staff is very courteous and always ready for anything you need. Huge clean rooms await you on arrival a great experience overall. Would love to visit again..
Situated adjacent to the beach, the stay was really comfortable and relaxing. The staff was definitely very helpful and prompt. I did not notice anyone wearing a mask. The staff did not insist on temperature checks or sanitization at all
Thank you team for nice hospitality and services. Murud Beach at walkable distance from resort..Own vehicle is required as it is 10-12km away from dapoli busstand. Auto rikshaw available from bus stand but from resort you won't get anything. You may need to ask resort manager and may they will help. Greenery and colourful pictures, lightings, food quality and yesterday music was very much liked by us. Good food quality at reasonable price. Great experience..One may opt to go with ocean breeze beach resort.
