Jaipur is landlocked; the nearest real beaches are on the Gujarat coast, Mumbai and Goa, all a flight or a long trip away.
Jaipur lies inland in the Thar and Aravalli region of Rajasthan, so there is no sea within a day trip. The closest coastal beaches are on the Gujarat coast near Mandvi, Diu and Dwarka, roughly 800-1,000 km by road, and the usual choice is a flight to Mumbai (about 2 hours) or Goa (about 2.5 hours). Beach hotels and the monsoon season should be checked before booking, because the Arabian Sea coast is rough from June to September. Trains to Mumbai take about 18-20 hours.
