While not a historical site in the traditional sense, the Rock Garden's 'history' is rooted in the natural geological processes that shaped the unique rock formations over centuries. The Konkan coastline, including Tarkarli, has been subject to constant erosion and weathering by the sea, wind, and rain. This has resulted in the sculpting of the rocks into the interesting shapes we see today. In recent years, the area has been developed and landscaped into a garden, making it accessible and enjoyable for tourists. The transformation from a natural rocky outcrop to a well-maintained tourist attraction represents a more recent chapter in the area's story, highlighting the efforts to preserve and showcase the region's natural beauty.
