    A good way to split the day is to hit the lighthouse early, say around 10 am, then walk to Mandvi Beach for the late afternoon light. If you’re staying near Dhokamale, a quick coffee break at Kokanwadi Resort before you head out can give you a nice pause and a view of the sea from the hotel’s terrace. From the airport or bus stand, a short auto to the lighthouse takes about 10 15 minutes, and the 2 km walk to the beach is just 20 minutes. This way you avoid the midday heat and still catch the sunset at the beach.
