    If you leave the station around 10 am, you’ll catch a bus or shared auto that drops you near the shore by 11 am. The return will be back by 1 pm, giving you roughly two hours on the beach before heading to the next leg of your journey. The shared auto is a bit pricier than the bus but gets you closer to the water, which can be handy if you’re tight on time. If you need a quick shower before you head back, the Kokanwadi Resort in Dhokamale is only about 18 km away and offers budget rooms.
