Karwar is just one of the secluded beaches dotted along Karnataka's 320 km long coastline. It has all the makings of a perfect holiday with gentle waves, palm-laced beaches, silver sand, and calm, peaceful coves. Karwar lies on a thin strip of tropical sand that is bound by the Western Ghats on its eastern side and embraced by the Arabian Sea on the west. The sea is dotted with several small islands on the horizon. Amongst them, about 3 kms away, is Devbagh, a centre for diving and snorkelling. This beach is said to have inspired Rabindranath Tagore to write his first play. It will surely inspire you to surrender to the timeless rhythm of the sea.
