About The Beach

With its scenic crescent-shaped shoreline dotted with towering coconut trees, Velneshwar truly is Maharashtra’s hidden gem when it comes to beaches. The rock-free sandy beaches are perfect for swimming or simply lounging around in peace by yourself or with your family. 

Art and architecture enthusiasts are sure to enjoy a visit to the vibrant Velneshwar temple that rests right on the seashore, with part of it submerged in the sea - the 'Merumandal'. Decked in bright colours with shades of blue, yellow, and pink, this Shiva temple dates back to when the village was founded approximately 1,200 years ago. For pilgrims, Maha Shivratri is the best time to visit as the place comes alive with celebrations, dance, and music.
