Helpfulness
Bechtel Beach is the name dubbed by many of the locals for a section of beach between Jamnagar and Dwarka due to the regular visits by Bechtel contract workers who spent their weekends there.
The locals call it Okha Mati Beach. There are no services provided. You must bring all your own supplies, food, drinks, transportation, etc.
The beaches extend for many kilometers. There may be the occasional wondering camels on the sand dunes near the beaches too.

Near to the sand dunes by "Bechtel Beach" (see my other tip), there are many miles of migratory foot paths used by the camels and their shepherds.
As long as you approach slowly and do not scare them, the camels will allow you to get very close.

If you are in Jamnagar, you have already made it farther into the heart of no-man's land than the average traveler.
But you will now find yourself about 120km east of the Hindu pilgrimage point of Dwarka. It is definitely worth it to take a day trip to visit the temples, the coast and the camels along the way. See my Dwarka page.

Jamnagar is a bird watchers paradise... 258 birds have been check listed here at the Khijadia bird sanctuary as well as on the coast and the islands of Jamnagar.
One can also do coral walking and watch corals, octopus, puffer fish, star fish, jelly fish, etc in the Marine National Park.
One can also hike in the barda mountains.

We were filming here at the Fighter base. Apart from filming `missions' involving Migs, we also filmed an exciting `sea survival' exercise over the Gulf of Kachch/ Arabian sea.
