Varchawada Beach

Varchawada Beach

Varchawada Beach lies along the upper (varcha — "upper") settlement of Kasheli, sheltered between rocky headlands. It is a longer, broader stretch than Devghali, and the locals consider it the village’s main bathing beach.

What to expect

• Wide flat sands at low tide — popular for an evening walk among the village families.
• Fishermen launch and land their boats here; mornings often have small catches being sorted on the sand.
• Rocky points at either end of the bay are good for tide-pool exploration when the sea is calm.

How to reach

Varchawada Beach is approached through the Varchawada neighbourhood of Kasheli. Follow the road north from the village centre; the beach is signposted as you approach. The motorable road comes very close to the sand.

Visit at low tide for the widest beach; sunsets here are dramatic when the western horizon is clear.
