Further
south lies Vengurla
with its long stretch
of white sands and
hills covered with
coconut, cashew, jackfruit
and mango groves.
Two well known temples,
the Shri Devi Sateri
and the Rameshwar
Mandir are situated
here. On what was
once an inner island
and is now part of
the mainland lies
the old town of Malvan,
almost hidden by palm
trees. The rocky terrain
of Malvan holds two
forts: Sindhudurg
and Padmagad. Formely
a trading zone, Malvan
is today known for
its salt pans, Chinese
clay pottery and Malvani
cuisine.
