    A good tweak is to leave the lighthouse for the late afternoon, so you can walk to Mandvi Beach right as the sun sets. If you’re staying near Dhokamale, a quick coffee at Kokanwadi Resort before heading out gives a nice break and a sea view from the terrace. From the airport or bus stand, an auto to the lighthouse takes about 10 15 minutes, then a 20 minute walk to the beach. This keeps the heat low and lets you enjoy both spots comfortably.
