Please check the Tide before going to visit the Kulaba fort, you
can ask the policemen posted on the beach or check the board displaying
the tide timings. You can visit the fort between the high and low
tide. the maximum time you get is approximately 3 to 4 hours and
that is enough to see the fort. Please take care
as a lot of people have died while returning from
the fort after beginning of high tide and because of not taking
proper precautions while coming back.
