Brief History

Located 37 kms from Somnath, this beach was once home to the royal palace of the Nawab of Junagadh. Today it remains in a ruined state. The beach is unsafe for swimming, but it is relatively clean, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the ocean breeze. It does not offer any accomodation facilities but serves as an ideal excursion from Somnath..

Chorwad’s history recounts seizure by the Raizadas after the collapse of the Mughals in Saurashtra. It later changed hands to Rana Sultanji of Porbandar, who ruled until the late 18th century. The Nawab of Junagadh controlled Chorwad from the 19th century. The birth of Dhirubhai Ambani has given it a place in modern history.
