    You could hit the lighthouse around 4 pm to catch the late afternoon light, then walk the 20 minute stretch to Mandvi Beach for the sunset. If you’re staying near Dhokamale, a quick coffee at the Kokanwadi Resort before you leave 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 the walk to the beach is short and straightforward. The beach also has a small shrine you might want to stop by for a quick photo before the sun dips.
