"Heaven of Earth" - that’s how I would describe Harnai and Palande beach… Intention was to see and enjoy beautiful beaches of Harnai & Palande. If you like staying away from the crowd and love watching the waves you will love harnai- palande beach, 200KM from Pune, approx 5 hours of drive. It’s a perfect place for a weekend picnic… the place is too good to be missed. We took route from Paud, Tamhini Ghat and reached Dapoli . Located at 11 kms from Dapoli, the beach at Harnai and Palande is an excellent white sand beach and we would like to rate it as one of the best beaches on the Konkan coast. There are a lot of good Hotels and Resorts alongside the beach and it is not at all crowded, practically it is like your own private beach. We stayed at Hotel Sea Princess, which is in one of the beach resorts near the hill side and relish on the exquisite seafood cooked in local styles. They serve good Konkani vegetarian food too. One of the primary attractions here is dolphin watching. A number of local tour operators arrange dolphin watching trips in boats. Beach is safe for swimming or you can just wade in the waters with white waves lapping at your feet. Have the time of your lives playing cricket, beach volley ball, collecting sea shells, etc. The view of the sunset is spectacular and breathtaking. Nights can be a perfect time to relax and sing and dance around camp fire.
