Most visitors reach Bet Dwarka by road to Okha (the jetty) or Dwarka and then take a short ferry/boat to the island (frequent local boats operate during daytime). Nearest railhead: Dwarka Railway Station (connected to major Gujarati cities and long‑distance trains). Nearest airports: Jamnagar and Porbandar (regional airports); road transfers from these airports to Okha/Dwarka take a few hours. Local buses, taxis and private cars serve Dwarka/Okha; the final leg to Bet Dwarka requires a boat.

Half‑day to full day for a standard visit (including travel time from Dwarka/Okha); an overnight stay in Dwarka or Okha is recommended if you want a relaxed trip or to visit nearby sites (Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, Dwarkadhish Temple).

Modest clothing for temple visits (cover shoulders/knees). Bring sun protection (hat, sunscreen), lightweight layers, comfortable footwear for walking on sand and slippery surfaces, and a small dry bag for valuables during the boat ride.

Local seafood (where available), simple Gujarati vegetarian fare and snacks at stalls near the jetty. Souvenirs include conch shells (shankh), shell handicrafts, embroidered textiles, and small religious mementos from temple shops.
