Dwarka to Shivrajpur Beach Distance and How to Reach
The distance from Dwarka to Shivrajpur Beach is about 13 km, a 15 to 18 minute drive via NH 51. Shivrajpur is a Blue Flag certified beach, easily reached by taxi or auto, and makes an easy half-day trip from Dwarka.
Shivrajpur is the nearest beach to Dwarka and one of only a handful of Blue Flag certified beaches in India, so it is a popular escape after temple darshan. This guide, from the team behind Somnath Dwarka Tour Package, a unit of Experience My India, gives the exact distance both ways, the route, how to reach it and what to do when you get there.

Shivrajpur Beach to Dwarka (via NH 51) | About 12.6 km | About 15 minutes |
Both directions run along National Highway 51 for most of the way, with a short stretch on Nageshwar Road near Dwarka. The times above are for the usual traffic and can vary a little on weekends and festival days when the beach draws crowds.

How to reach Shivrajpur Beach from Dwarka
Because it is so close, there are easy options for every kind of traveller:
By taxi: the most convenient way, about 15 to 20 minutes each way. A Somnath Dwarka taxi service can hold the car while you enjoy the beach.
By auto rickshaw: available from Dwarka for a short, budget-friendly ride, best agreed on a return fare.
