A Quick Overview on the Beach

The Kurumgad beach is just the place where nature lovers would love to go to as it sports unspoilt stretches of sand. The beauty of the beach is very much intact. Lying amidst popular destinations like Goa, Bangalore and Panaji and present in the Uttara Kannada region, quite close to the Karwar Beach, this is definitely a place to visit for those who like to relax on white sands, away from work and other common trivialities.

This place is sure to attract both the young and the old alike as adventurous youngsters can opt for water sports in this place while older people can opt for a calm walk along the coast.

Activities and Things to Do

The activities that you can embark on in this poetic beach are abundant. The trip to the beach is through a boat ride from the Sadhashivgad jetty which is on the backwaters of the river Kali at Karwar. This is mainly because the Kurumgad Island, in which the beach is present, lies 4 km from the mainland and 1 km from the Devbagh Beach at Karwar.
