The nearest railhead from Dapoli is Khed which is just 40 kms from Dapoli. Dapoli is also well connected to other parts of the state by road however it is better to travel to Dapoli by own transport since once you get to Dapoli any of the beaches in Dapoli is at least about 10 - 15 kms away from the bus depot and the sightseeing options like temples or forts are also at a similar distance making it very difficult to use public transport for sightseeing in Dapoli. Dapoli is well connected to major cities especialy Mummbai by bus.
