BEACH · CASUARINA · QUIET COASTUbharat Beach
A casuarina-fringed shore — Ubharat Beach, a quiet stretch of the south Gujarat coast lined with casuarina groves, offers gentle sands, sea breezes and the unhurried character of a low-key seaside escape away from the crowds.
A quiet casuarina-lined seashore
Ubharat is a quiet beach on the Arabian Sea coast of Navsari district — a low-key seaside destination known for its long sands fringed with casuarina groves, its gentle character and its relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere. Like the other beaches of the south Gujarat coast, Ubharat is not a developed resort beach but a simple, natural shore — a place for walking the sands, enjoying the sea breeze, watching the sunset over the Arabian Sea, and escaping the pace of the towns.
The casuarina plantations that line the shore provide shade and a distinctive coastal character, and the beach has long been a favourite local getaway. The south Gujarat coast — Ubharat, Dandi, and the other beaches of the Navsari and Valsad shore — offers a quieter, gentler alternative to the more famous beaches of the country, rewarding those who appreciate a simple, natural seaside.
For the visitor, Ubharat is a pleasant spot for a relaxed coastal interlude — best in the cool of the winter months and most beautiful at sunset. (A quiet natural beach; simple facilities; best in winter and at sunset.)
