Various water sports are offered like water scooters, skiing, surfing, para sailing, speed boat trips. Cottage Resort Magico Do Mar is one of the highlight of this beach offering airconditioned rooms, pleasant lawns, palm groves. The resort bungalow facing garden towards sea offers wonderful sights which should not be missed. Diu island is a real pleasant surprise across the bridge from Ahmedpur Mandvi. Lying on the offshore of Gujarat mainland, minutes offshore from the mainland of Gujarat, yet has the feel of being like on a mediterranean island. Nothing can quite prepare you for the treasure-trove of Diu. Diu reflects the Portugese colonial period architecture like the churches, public buildings, bungalows with pastel shaded walls, truss roofs, terraces, galleries, clean wide road, neat clean beaches etc. Nagoa Beach is one of the most beautiful, white sanded, crescent shaped of quiet blue water and is perfect for swimming, wading, relaxing, water sports like jetskiing, knee board surfing, pony and camel riding.

CHORWAD BEACH
Chorwad, a small fishing village is a great place to enjoy views of rocky shores, boat riding and also a base to visit places like Porbandar, Somnath etc. There is a resort which was previously a palace built by Nawab Saheb Mohabbat Khan as a vacation spot for the hot summer days where he held weddings of his dogs, royal banquets and processions amidst cool breezes from the sea. Porbandar - the historic princely state on the shores of the Arabian Sea is famous for being the birthplace of the Father of The Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. His old residence Kirti mandir is now a memorial museum having a series of memorabalia and library. The Daria Mahal Palace facing the sea, is a delightful work of architecture.

DWARKA BEACH
Dwarka is an important city for Hindu Pilgrimage. This was the kingdom of Lord Krishna. The entire city was revealed by marine excavations. The city is famous for the Dwarkadish temple or Jagat Mandir. Dwarka has fine stretches of beach and though crowded by pilgrims one can always find quiet spots too. Large number of birds could be seen on the coast. There is a small island covered with temples, a white beach, coral reefs and extensive marine life. Dolphins and porpoise can be seen surfacing to breathe, sea turtles, octopus, star fish, sea urchins etc. inhabit the beach.

GOPNATH BEACH
Gopnath was the summer home of Maharaja Krishna Kumar Singhji of Bhavnagar. 75 kms from Bhavnagar, Gopnath is well connected by rail and bus to Ahmedabad. The breathtakingly beautiful sea coast with it’s spectacular limestone cliffs and great views, sea breezes and colourful birdlife, must have made an excellent break from the city during the summer months. The Gopnath beach has lovely, firm, sands for walking and shallow shore waters for wading, but the high tidal difference of the coast, makes the water murky and not very inviting for a long swim. Gopnath is the base for some spectacular sightseeing. Talja is a jain temple spiralling on a 350 foot high volcanic hill, Alang is the world's largest ship breaking zone. Besides this one can enjoy shopping for furniture, food stuff, crockery, utensils, textiles, home appliances salvaged from the ships. The 700 year old Gopnath temple is perhaps the only one in India with flags of 2 colours a white flag denoting a Vishnu temple and a saffron flag representing a Shiva temple.
