A picturesque and laidback coastal town nestled in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, Alibag is a popular weekend and holiday gateway from Mumbai. It is home to several scenic beaches and majestic forts due to which it has also earned the moniker of ‘Goa of Maharashtra’.
If you are planning a group road trip to Alibag, you can consider a private bus hire. We have curated the best places to visit in Alibag:
Nagaon Beach
With its pristine sands along the coastline of the expansive Arabian Sea, this beach will take your breath away. The adventure enthusiasts in your group can enjoy multiple water sports activities here.
Akshi Beach
The breezy ambience created by suru trees makes this white sand beach a perfect destination for splish-splash fun in the sea with your group. This beach is widely known for bird watching too.
Kashid Beach
If your group is interested to explore a secluded beach, Kashid is a great option. Situated from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, this beach also offers exciting activities such as horse riding, banana boat rides, parasailing, etc.
Murud-Janjira Fort
This marine sea fort stands loftily to narrate the tales of attacks on it from Marathas, Britishers and Portuguese. When you step inside the fort, you can explore giant ancient cannons, freshwater wells and of course, a stunning view of the Arabian Sea from the top. You can take a bus or tempo traveller on rent Mumbai to reach Alibag and then take a ferry to this fort.
Revdanda Fort
The historic Revadana Fort bears the stamp of erstwhile Portuguese rule in India but it also has legendary stories of Lord Krishna and Maratha King Shivaji associated with it. Though the fort is mostly in ruins, it still makes it worth a visit due to its stately entrances, underground tunnels, and panoramic view of the sea.
