BEACH · OFFBEATDunny Point
A pristine sandbar at the tip of Bet Dwarka island — clear shallow water, soft sand and big horizons, reached by a boat-and-walk adventure.
The island's wild, seaward edge
At the far end of the island of Bet Dwarka, beyond its temples and lanes, lies Dunny Point — a pristine sandbar where the land dissolves into clear, shallow turquoise water and wide, empty horizons. It is Bet Dwarka’s wild, seaward side, and a world away from the pilgrim bustle.
Getting there is part of the adventure. From the island, a short boat ride and a walk — or a bumpy camel-cart ride across the sand — bring you to a beach that feels gloriously remote, with soft sand, gentle water and almost no development. It’s a favourite of travellers who want to pair Bet Dwarka’s spiritual side with a stretch of quiet, unspoilt coast.
Come prepared — facilities are minimal, so bring water and sun protection, and keep an eye on the tides and your return boat.

Where the island meets the sea
Dunny Point is pure nature — no buildings, no monuments, just a long, low spit of sand reaching out from the tip of Bet Dwarka into shallow, clear sea. Its shape shifts with the tides, the sandbar growing and shrinking as the water rises and falls.
That emptiness is exactly the appeal: a wide, open beach with soft sand underfoot, gentle water and uninterrupted horizons, reached only by a little effort.
