Arnala Beach

Arnala Beach – Fort, Fishing & Family Fun

Arnala Beach lies at the northern tip of Virar and is famous for its soft black sand, scenic palm tree borders, and close proximity to the sea-facing Arnala Fort. A quick boat ride from the beach takes visitors to the 16th-century fort built by the Portuguese, offering stunning views and heritage ruins.

The beach is lively, especially on weekends, with horse and camel rides, local snack stalls, and street-side vendors. Early mornings are ideal for serene walks, while evenings buzz with local tourists and food stalls.
