At
a
distance
of
60
km
from
Porbandar,
74
km
from
Somnath,
and
78
km
from
Junagadh,
Madhavpur
Beach
is
a
stunning
beach
along
the
coast
of
Arabian
Sea
in
Gujarat.
Situated
on
Somnaath
-
Dhwarka
Road.
Madhavpur
Beach
is
indeed
one
of
the
loveliest
sandy
beaches
in
Gujarat
as
this
stunning
beach
presents
a
visual
that
is
hard
to
compare
with
anything
else.
Named
after
the
ruler
Madhav
Rao,
the
beach
has
become
popular
amongst
the
other
beaches
because
of
its
scheduled
location.
The
beach
is
lined
with
coconut
trees
and
the
waters
here
are
clear.
It
is
home
to
a
two-decade-long
conservation
project
of
Green
Sea
and
Olive
Ridley
turtles.
Since
the
beach
is
less
commercialized,
it
is
very
clean
with
azure
blue
waters
that
attract
the
people
who
want
to
spend
some
quality
time
with
family
and
friends.
Though
the
beach
is
not
safe
for
swimming,
one
can
try
some
activities
like
beach
scooter,
speed
boating,
parasailing,
camel
and
horse
rides
here.
The
beach
is
well-endowed
with
the
stalls
of
coconut
water
and
snacks.
The
town
also
hosts
the
beautiful
Madhavraiji
Haveli
Temple
and
Rukmini
no
Choro.
Legend
has
it
that
Lord
Krishna
married
Rukmini
right
here
in
Madhavpur.
This
belief
is
kept
alive
through
the
holding
of
a
fair
every
year.
Madhavpur
is
also
culturally
significant
due
to
one
of
the
seats
of
Vallabhacharya
who
is
the
founder
of
Pushtimarg
Vaishnava
Hindu
sect.
