The island is connected to the mainland at Okha by the Sudarshan Setu, a cable-stayed road bridge, so you can now drive all the way to the island.

Best time to visit Beyt Dwarka
October to March is the best time to visit. Days are pleasant and the sea is calm, which is ideal for the dolphin safari, boating and water sports. Summer (April to June) is hot, so plan beach time for the morning and evening. During the monsoon (June to September) sea activities can be suspended because of rough sea.
