Dapoli is in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, India, and it has serene beaches, lush green surroundings, mountain ranges, and historical significance. Some of the prominent beaches in Dapoli are Karde Beach and Murud Beach.
You go for enjoyment but get stuck in traffic jams, long ques in restaurant and very crowded places where you can not even walk in such situation you feel why I cam here better I should have stayed at home and enjoyed my time.
Rather than trying for GOA, Lonavala or Alibag, you can try other places within Konkan which are not much crowded and more beautiful than these famous places. But if you want to have a Jungle safari in Maharashtra then go for Tadoba
One of the such place is Dapoli.
