In the morning we made use of the nice weather and sunshine from the hotel's balcony. After the bath my wife posed in the balcony both standing and sitting poses with the ocean and trees in her background.
My wife loves beaches and Ganapatipule has the ideal charm and purety to please her. Maharahstra Tourism hotel was just beside the seashore set up on a huge area. We could see Arabian Sea very clearly from our balcony and my wife posed over there for some good photoshoots.

Due to the presence on western coast the Ganapatipule beach is definitely a place to enjoy the sunset over Arabian sea. With very less people presence in the beach due to lack of commercialization you can enjoy the beach in every way possible
We also sat on the beach in one fo the coconut stalls and let the sun set in front of us. That gave us some magnicficent view of the sun over Arabian sea on the background.

On the first morning we arranged to worship Swayambhu Ganapati in the temple. There are few stalls outside the temple campus which sell flowers, fruits, sweet, lamps, candles for the worship package. The price is very decent and much lower than what we used to be charged in any temple in Mumbai
Photography is not allowed inside the temple but we made few shoots outside the building and the setting was marvelous just beside the seashore. Also there is no restriction on the dress and my wife was in sleeveless vest in one day and sleeveless frock in another day but try to avoid spaghetti top or mini skirts.

There is a portion on the northern end of the beach with black rocks kissing the ocean. The place looks beautiful and worth to explore the rock and get deep into the water
Just before the sunset my wife and I went and climb on the rocks and made few nice photoshots, my wife sat on the rock to rest and I gone deeper into the water inside.

These were photoshoots in balcony of my wife where the Arabian sea is clearly visible in the behind. Although the tall trees hamper the view of the ocean but that makes the ambience little cooler as well.
After a small rest at hotel room she posed nicely excited in the balcony to capture her beauty and the background very nicely.

It must be noted that you exercise caution while swimming in the Ganapatipule Beach. Although the beach is very clean but not much support in terms of life saving arrangements. The Arabian Sea is realtively calm but make sure you don't go deep into the ocean.
Also Swimsuit can be used in the beach like my wife wore a violet one-piece swimming costume to help swimming in the water.

The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation has a huge facility in Ganapatipule. You can spend time in walking withing the campus specially in the garden and enjoy the scenery around.
We spend the afternoon an hour to walk all the way to the northern part of the campus as well as stroll in the garden.

Ganapatipule with a series of pristine beaches apart from the Ganapatipule beach itself makes Ganapatipule an ideal holiday destination for a beach lover. The twin beaches of Aare - Ware and the Malgund beach flanks either sides of the Ganapatipule beach. The beach is clean and free from commercialization. You'll feel free from Shacks, snacks or beer bars which is often the setup in Goa, Kerala and other popular beaches. The waves are normal as is the case for Arabian Sea for the entire west coast and ideal for swimming. So don't forget your swimwear & sunscreen

Ganapatipule is a small village on the Konkan coast of Ratnagiri District with a series of beaches and vantage points offering some stunning views of the sea. The Swayambhu (naturally formed god) Ganapati Temple, on the Ganapatipule beach itself is the primary attraction in the village that draws thousands of pilgrims every year to this village. The temple is pretty clean and its set up against a clean clear beach makes it worth to visit
