Tsunami Island (near Devbaug beach) is a small island on the delta of Tarkarli River. Tsunami Island is in the back waters. It’s a small little island with clear waters. ‘tsunami island’ – which gets submerged during high tide – and also quaint boat rides to spot surfacing dolphins. The highlight of this gorgeous getaway is that it happens to be the only certified scuba diving centre in the entire state, blessed with an adjoining coral reef and clear waters. If exploring the magic of the sub-marine world is something you’ve always wanted to do, here’s a great way to get started. While fairly well known, the large swathe of the beach manages to be largely uncrowded, and visitors get to enjoy homestays, really reasonable and fresh Malvani cuisine and the unending natural beauty of coconut and Casuarina-tree studded sparkling golden sands.
 Tsunami Island at Devbag is one of the major attractions to enjoy some watersports. Devbag is about 4 KMs from Tarkarli, which is about 7 KMs from Malwan.
 The morning tour on the boat cruises is highly recommended. You can take pictures when you slowly move toward the Sangam as this is the place where the backwaters and the blue seas converge. Come along and soak up the lush green view on both sides of the backwaters lined with coconut and casuarina trees.
  This is a small island formed in the middle of the river that joins to the sea at Devbaug
 Tsunami Island popular for water sports. To the north west of Tarkarli stands the mighty Sindhudurg Fort, 3 Kms inside the sea off the Malvan coast.

 This beach cum island also is the place to enjoy boat ride in the backwaters of Tarkarli River.
 Home to the spicy Malvani cuisine and Karli Backwaters, this destination has a unique charm and calmness around it.
 During high tide, you can't able to see this island. Even during the high tide, the depth on the island will be around 2-3 ft.
 Tsunami Island Malvan is a small town located around 520 kms from Mumbai in Sindhudurg District on the Konkan belt of Maharashtra.
 Apart from island visit, one can try water sports like kayaking, bumper, para sailing, jet scooter, that are organized in the island. And the costs for the water sports is very less compared to that of goa. The equipment is new and the organizers are so helpful, friendly.
 Tsunami Island is surrounded by the Karli river on the west & south & it’s backwaters in the east & north. Some villagers have set up small tea stalls & snacks that are home made for customers.
 Best time to visit Tsunami island for water sports is during high tide when the small island is partially submerged under the water (till knee length).
 This island is very small and you can see it during low tide. Water sports are arranged on this island and even during high tide you can go there.
 This place used to be under water at least by 3-4 feet even during the low tide.                            
Tsunami island has a lot of water sports options ,best way to reach it is to take a boat from devbag beach.Tsunami island Experience was thrilling and we entirely enjoyed this journey.

The Chapora fort is one of the most popular tourist attractions of India. This massive fort is built out of red laterite stones and was constructed first by the ruler of Bijapur, Adil Shah. This is one reason why it has been named Shahpura, which means the 'town of Shah'. The Chapora fort is located at a distance of around 10 kilometers from Mapusa and can be reached by hiring a taxi or an auto from Mapusa. One can also take buses from Panaji that ply to Chapora fort on a regular basis. 
The Chapora fort was built essentially to keep watch on numerous Hindu raiders and plunderers who came to establish their territory through Goa. The fort was destroyed after the rule of Adil Shah and was rebuilt by the Portuguese around 1617 when they made Goa their colony. The Portuguese also deserted the fort around 1892. During the Portugal rule, the fort was built in a grand style and also had underground tunnels to aid in escaping in case of an emergency. After the Portuguese left, the fort was abandoned and never occupied again.
Today, though mostly in ruins the fort gives a spectacular view of the Vagator and the Morjim beach. Many people who come to the beaches visit the Chapora fort just to feel that mystical air and view the sea from the ramparts of the fort. The walls are still strong and have withstood the lashes of time for many years. The Chapora fort is a very popular tourist attraction of Goa and many tourists don't go back without visiting the Chapora fort at least once.
It is a pleasant place to wander that offers fantastic views north across the Chapora river to Pernem, south over Vagator and also far out to the Arabian Sea in the West.
                                     Chapora River is a river in northern Goa, India.
Chapora continues to remain a perfect vantage point for gazing at the sea as the waves gently nudge the shore in silent harmony.

                     The fort is easily accessible from Vagator over the hill leading to the fort.
 Remember the scene of 'Dil Chahta Hai' where the three actors sit on the fort overlooking the sea?                                                                 Well, that was 'Chapora Fort'.
Though the fort was lying in ruins due to neglect, recently efforts have been made to restore the lost heritage and recreate the old magic.

 A natural valley to the beach protected by rocky promontories provides an excellent natural access to the sea.
        "Life is all about enjoying every sunset and looking forward for the next Sunrise."
 The fort offers an amazing bird’s eye view of the surrounding ocean and shoreline

The Nivati village location is amidst the greenery of plantations and ocean roars form the west. The air is sweet, moist and clean and the seawater is crystal clear, in its natural form. The Nivati fort located nearby provides historical significance to this place. The atmosphere is serene and the calmness of the sea and shores alike are reassuring in these hectic days of today.Offers peace and serenity to independent travelers. Fishermen seen launching their traditional boats and nets daily into the sea is an interesting feature to watch on this beach. Adjoining the beach is a twin village Kochra, which offers wonderful view of small tropical oasis on Nivati's shore.
Nivati is an unexplored piece of land that springs a surprise at every turn you take. Nivati is also blessed with a 5 Km long backwater bordering the paddy fields and a cruise in the narrow water lanes of Nivati backwaters displaying the panorama of simple village life is an experience in itself. 
Unlike Goan beaches, this beach has its own flair of the original nature's ambiance with the     Fisherman's fishing around with boats and the non-crowded beach space. Clean and Peaceful 
A ship in harbor is safe,But that is not what ships are built for.
Very narrow approach road through fisherman colony but then this huge beach makes feel good. The beach is safe to get into the water. The surroundings are lovely and water is blue and green. They say it is possible to watch dolphins early morning from this beach. When we visited in the evening the place was quite and time spent.
Nivati beach is a secluded cove with a beautiful stretch of white sand beach and a turquoise blue sea to complement it. 
         The beach seine - net operated from the shore, called 'Rampani fishing' endemic to this region in Konkan is an intriguing sight.
The Nivati beach is without a doubt the main attraction in Nivati. 
  The Nivati fort plays sentinel to this beautiful shoreline and makes a Nivati vacation an unforgettable experience.
