Below are complete details about Rajodi beach like specialty, hotels and resorts near, Distance from Virar and for Mumbai citizen visiting, Nearest Railway station and How to reach etc..”
Specialty of This Beach
Updates 2023: This beach attracts more crowd now compared to last few years as there are more beach front stay options. New Water sports company ‘Mumbai Surf Club’ started water rides and sports activities on this beach.
Updates 2020: Year 2020 and upon the water sports activities in 2019, People love and reach here in groups for some water sports and adventures. February 2019 also brought some good news for locals and Mumbai citizens as a group of Dolphin fish are seen wandering near this beach.
Employees of Blu Life Adventures spotted Dolphins (About 8 to 12 in number) at some distance from beach area. HP Live news has covered a video about same. It is a good news and a proof that Dolphins are here and the sea water of Vasai virar are much cleaner compared to others in city area.
As said all four beaches are in queue and are named along the respected villages. Rajodi being the second beach in the line is much cleaner and is in bit interior with flat surface, safer, pollution free, white sand but with less tree shades compared to Arnala.
It has a man made rocky belt at entry which is an ideal place to seat and have a sea view. Although a very good beach to walk or spend a morning or evening with family friends or your beloved, i would not recommend this beach for picnic as their are very few resorts, that too with average food quality.
If you are planning beach side picnic with medium to large group Arnala beach or Navapur will be a better choice ‘COMPARATIVELY’, or head to Uttan beach at Bhayandar. Arnala is famous yet, Not a clean beach, While Bhayander coastal are much better when it comes to clean & very good sea food quality.
Although safe and no incident with picnic group or tourists yet heard, Consider Rajodi as a day only location to have fun around and plan to leave the beach up on sunset as the entry of beach gives the feeling of isolation and like other connected beaches.
One can see locals playing cricket and football on this beach, washed out broken shells is another attraction at times. Water is about 100 meters distance from shore and during high tides it reaches the rocky patch that can be seen in the pictures on this page.
