Diveagar (Dive Agar) Beach stay information
Now a days it is increasing trendy business of water sports and parachute gliding using a jeep … Most of the Konkan beaches have it including Diveagar … and moreover prices remain the same …
With the stretch of @3~4 kms its perfectly okay for flying sports [if the wind permits] …

And finally the place of Gold Ganapati temple (Idol is stolen in 2012, so presently they have silver idol similar to the original one) I was lucky to get Gold ganapati darshan few years back …
I shall write about hotels in Dive Agar in short while …as usual people like to know the hotels … food … and the price at which they can get it ….
btw what is disliked by me at Diveagar is that there are no hotels or houses touching to the beach !! there is land with bushes and a road in between all hotels .. so u hv to travel for a distance unlike other sea beaches like ladghar where ur hotel front opens to the sea beach …
In this case there are only 2-3 hotels in dive agar .. they are costly as compared to the quality .. I could bargain with one of the owner to get best price .. food quality was just okay . not stunning … I expect more good quality home stays and good home made food though.
