The Ganesh temple is situated in Anjarle village near Dapoli. It was first constructed with wood in 1150AD and then reconstructed between 1768-1780. It is particularly known for the right-side placement of the Ganesha's idol which means it's trunk curves towards right which is rare.

Karde Beach is one of the unexploited beaches in the region. Its proximity to Mumbai and Pune makes it a popular weekend getaway. The extensive stretch of golden shore lined with Sheoke trees is perfect for relaxing long strolls during the sunsets, while the ocean is famous for swimming, boating and dolphin spotting.
