Velas Beach

Velas Agar

About

Velas beach offers an encapsulating view and is surrounded by hilocks. This beautiful paradise is just a short drive away from Madangad or Dapoli. It is considered as one of the cleanest and most unique beaches you can visit.

Due to its immaculate quality, each year, from February till mid-April, the tiny village of Velas bears witness to a truly heart-warming sight as thousands of newly hatched Olive Ridley turtles take their first steps towards the big blue sea. Experience the cool breeze as you stroll along this unspoiled beach while you admire the beautiful coconut trees.
