The Velas Turtle Festival is a unique, community-led conservation celebration along the Konkan coast, marking the nesting and hatching of Olive Ridley turtles. Held at Velas Beach, about 100 km from Dapoli, it takes place between February and April when hatchlings emerge and journey towards the sea. Watching them at dawn is a deeply moving experience—a quiet reminder of life’s fragile courage. Evenings come alive with folk music, dances, and traditional games shaped by coastal community life.
