Personal Experience
I visited this beach around 4-5 times with friends and family and each time we enjoyed a lot. My visits include one-day full picnic, stay at beach side resort and casual visit for 4 – 5 hours. The sunrise and set on the beach was an awesome experience. we visited Gorai on Public holidays and weekends so we witnessed good crowd there. We enjoyed camel and horse ride, Played Football, volleyball, and cricket in different visits.
We were reached Bhayander and then took Auto Rickshaw to Gorai Beach. There are BEST buses as well that go to Gorai. We did not face any problem reaching gorai beach, the real problem starts when you want to come back from gorai beach. If you are not using your own vehicle, and you are not planning to stay there, leave the place before it gets dark. You will face shortages of auto rickshaw over there. There were times when we waited for like 2 hours for auto rickshaw
We took our food at Picxy Sea Resort. The food was good especially the fish and chicken was delicious. The picxy resort was the last resort in the lane with tables under huts and coconut trees. They have rooms as well for an overnight stay.
