If you are in Dapoli and like to have a private space on a clean white-san beach, the choice should be Karde beach. You will have to drive a village road not-so-good in condition for about a KM but that's true for most of the other beaches in Dapoli. There are couple of local shops serving tea and snacks that one can enjoy. There are not too many activities on the beach and gives you privacy that you need when you are on a family holiday trip. You can get up early to catch a dolphin spotting boat.

The stretch starting from Murud Harnai to Ladghar is the most popular region in Dapoli. Murud Harnai, a vast stretch of flat beach with fine sand is probably the most popular beach in Dapoli with some of the best hotels and resorts. Murud Harnai extends on to Karde and there are some beach front resorts also located between Harnai and Karde. Ladghar is seperated from Karde by a rocky stretch however one can walk across it to Ladghar.

Ladghar is a small stretch of beach to the south of the rocky hillock which seperates it from Karde. Ladghar extends onto Burundi - a small fishing hamlet to its south. There is a 'Dutta mandir' - the village diety, atop the hillock on the northern end of Ladghar beach. Parasailing and water sports like water scooters is available in Ladghar and is very popular.

Beach is clean. Paragliding, horse and camel riding for children, jet sking and many more activities that will keep you occupied in this beach. Good fish and that too fresh ones...
