Shivrajpur beach
blue Flag Beach
Shivrajpur beach, near Shivrajpur village, is located in the Devbhumi Dwarka district of Gujarat, India. It is a white-sand beach with azure, clear water. The water is shallow. It was awarded the Blue Flag beach certification in October 2020 by the Foundation for Environment Education, a Denmark-based voluntary organization.
Shivrajpur village was formed by the Baroda State during the early 19th century. It is believed that the ruler of Kachchh or Katuch, Maharao Deshalji, constructed a small fort with an 11-meter-high black masonry unlit beacon. The purpose of the fort was to provide safety and shelter to the Kachchhi vessels. Facilities like emergency repairs for boats, rations and drinking water were also provided. There is a lighthouse near the beach named Kacchighadh Lighthouse. A battery-operated flashing light was placed at the top of the cabin in 1977, which was the first light in the region.

Why this record matters
“Shivrajpur beach” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Shivrajpur, beach and blue provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q105636989. Authority coordinates are 22.330, 68.950. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020 and 1977.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
