Olive Ridley Turtle Nesting
Dhaninallah Beach is a world-renowned nesting site for Olive Ridley Sea Turtles. If you visit between December and February, you may have the rare chance to witness turtle nesting or hatchlings heading to the sea.
✨ The Walkway & Beach Experience
As you walk the boardwalk, you are surrounded by ancient mangrove creeks and complex root systems. Don't miss the "Olive Ridley" eco-hut midway through the trail—it's the perfect spot to sit quietly and listen to the sounds of the tropical forest. Unlike many other beaches in Rangat, Dhaninallah is sandy and very suitable for a refreshing swim.
