Detail InformationEdit

Alibaug is known as Goa of Maharashtra State because the town is surrounded by sea from three sides. It is also district headquarters of Raigad district. The town Alibaug has large number of beaches like Versoli, Kihim, Awas, Sasavne, Mandwa, Akshi and Nagaon. Among them, Alibag Beach is the main beach. Alibaug Beach is a popular weekend getway for the citizens of Mumbai. One can see coconut trees swaying and glistening water stretching as far as the eye can see. The beach has no facilities for water sports like boating, diving or snorkelling. Walking and sunbathing, riding in the six seated horse driven buggies (Rs 10 per person for 15mts) are the most ideal activities in Alibaug Beach. Even though the beach is safe for swimming at high tide, be cautious during low tide, as there are no lifeguards on the beach.
