Shivrajpur Beach

Shivrajpur Beach & Lighthouse, located on the Dwarka-Okha Highway 12 kilometres from Dwarka (Gujarat), just gained Blue Flag beach accreditation. One of Gujarat's most popular beaches, Shivrajpur Beach, is the perfect destination to spend the weekend with family and kids. 

If you're lucky, you can see dolphins or other beautiful birds. Because of its blue flag accreditation, Shivrajpur Beach is currently attracting tourists from all over India. The state government is also improving the beach by building several nearby amenities. 

Take part in various adventurous activities like sea bathing, snorkelling, scuba diving, island tours, and snorkeling with your loved ones. Alternatively, relax by the calm water and watch the sunset over the day. It is among the most exciting and popular places to visit in Dwarka.

Lighthouse 

A lighthouse is also located close to the shore. Here, in 1720–1721, Maharao Deshalji, the king of Kachchh, erected a tiny fort and the 11-metre-tall Mojap beacon—an unlit black stone beacon—to protect and shelter Kachchhi warships. 

One of the popular attractions to include in the Dwarka tour package is the Shivrajpur Beach & Lighthouse. The first light in this area was a battery-powered flashing light on the top of the cabin, which started in 1977. It came when a Raccoon came into service in 1978. 

In 1983, the current 30-metre RCC structure was constructed, and PRB-21 lighting technology was installed. In 1997, auto headlights with 100W halogen bulbs replaced the imported sealed beam lamps to save energy. The lighthouse was restored after suffering damage during the January 26, 2001, earthquake.

What is unique about Shivrajpur Beach?

This lengthy, immaculate beach extends between a rocky shoreline and a lighthouse close to Shivrajpur village. Perfect for a stroll. Other must-see coastal locations close to Dwarka are Poshitara, its marine life and coral reefs, and Okha Madhi, with exquisite sands.

Which is the cleanest beach in Gujarat?

With its quiet and unspoiled beauty and its glorious past, the Dandi beach awaits you. It is well-known for the historic Salt Satyagraha Movement, which Mahatma Gandhi started in 1930. This movement extended from Dandi Beach to Sabarmati Ashram. It's one of Gujarat's cleanest beaches.
