    If you only have a few hours, the fastest way is a shared auto from Velneshwar station directly to the beach; it takes about 45 minutes each way and drops you near the shore, saving the extra bus wait. After a quick swim you can head back to the station for your next flight. If you need a place to freshen up before leaving, Kokanwadi Resort in Dhokamale is a cheap option just under 18 kilometres away.
