Dapoli

Maharashtra, India

---

Dapoli is a small coastal town and taluka in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, India, located about 215 kilometers south of Mumbai along the Konkan coast.

It is often called “Camp Dapoli” because the British once used it as a military camp, and the area still has colonial relics such as old graves and an abandoned church. The town sits at a slightly higher elevation inland while the surrounding taluka has roughly 50 kilometers of shoreline along the Arabian Sea, lined with coconut farms, quiet beaches, and fishing villages.

Dapoli is also known for its mild “mini Mahabaleshwar”‑like climate, historical sites such as Suvarnadurg fort, and nearby attractions like Murud Beach and Unhavare hot whttps://fabplaces.com/secretadmin/country_places_edit.php?id=6639#ater springs, making it a low‑key getaway in the Konkan region.
