Read moreBeach of Porbandar (પોરબંદર ની ચોપાટી) is known as chawpati like Mumbai. But Porbandar chowpati is far better than Mumbai as it is well developed by local municipal corporation. Ample parking space is available for two and four wheeler. Vehicle is not allowed on main beach road however children and kids are allowed to bring their bicycles. Benches are placed across beach and you can peacefully seat and enjoy vibrant sunrise and sunset. I would prefer to seat at stare at sky to look for shining stars. Really it gives lot of peace and energy.
As far as food are concerned, lords restaurant is just located on beach side. Many years ago street food vendors were allowed on beach side but now they are not allowed as it makes place for crowded and dirty. Now street food vendor are allowed to stand on one side corner only which is good decision to me.
Since last 35 years I am regular visitor of this place, earlier I was to be guided by my family and now I do visit as guardian but the place is as beautiful as earlier.

I encourage all new and regular visitor of chowapti to keep this place more clean and beautiful. It is the pride...
