Konkan's Coastal Gems Attract Large Crowds as Tourism Booms in Sindhudurg
Coastal Konkan sees a rise in visitors, with popular attractions like the Devgad Windmill and beaches drawing large crowds.
The coastal region of Sindhudurg, especially in the three popular talukas of Malvan, Devgad, and Vengurla, has seen a significant rise in tourist numbers this Christmas season. With the festive spirit in full swing, the beaches and tourist attractions in this scenic Konkan region are brimming with visitors eager to bid farewell to the year and welcome the new one.
Among the prime attractions drawing in large crowds, the Devgad Windmill has become a major hotspot for tourists. Thanks to the magnificent garden surrounding it, the popular zipline, and the picturesque Devgad Beach, this area has emerged as a perfect spot for families and thrill-seekers alike. Tourists from across the region, particularly Mumbai, are flocking to the windmill garden, creating traffic congestion as they travel through scenic routes, including Ratnagiri and Jaitapur.
Visitors are also exploring neighboring areas such as Vijaydurg Fort, Mithamumbari Beach, and Kunkeshwar, which add to the allure of this coastal stretch. The surge in tourist numbers has led to full bookings at local hotels and lodgings, further showcasing the increasing demand for accommodation in Devgad.
With the rise in popularity of the Windmill Garden and the adventure-filled zipline experience, traffic has become a concern, especially on the main roads connecting key destinations. Visitors are frequently passing through the region, heading from Devgad to Malvan, and ultimately making their way to Goa via Vengurla.
As the number of tourists continues to rise, authorities are working on improving traffic management and ensuring smooth transit for visitors. In the meantime, the beauty of the region continues to attract holidaymakers, creating a lively and festive atmosphere that highlights the charm of Konkan’s coastal treasures.
