India /Maharashtra /Raigad / Kashid

Kashid is located in the State of Maharashtra. Renowned for its appealing beaches, majestic mountains and whispering casuarinas, Kashid offers a quiet and a relaxing time to the tourist. A charming locale, which floats on a thickly wooded hill, it is bestowed with one of the most alluring beaches of the western coast. Kashid is popped between two hummocks with Casuarinas groves all around the seashore. A serene shore that stretches to a vast extend presents a spellbound appearance. The imposing Arabian Sea shows its full glory here in Kashid. The never-ending sea with its vast stretch of pristine seashore evokes a rejuvenating feeling. The bizarrely high lingering waves of the Sea offer a delight for surfing. Kashid beach is one of the many sheltered seaside resorts that blotch the western coast of India. One among the ideal location, on the shores of an enchanting sea is a crowd puller on weekends. A fast emerging, wacky destination, Kashid’s spotless water and clean beach makes it the most beautiful spot in the nearby areas. A drive through this coastal belt is the perfect way to catch the awesome rustic beauty of rural India. Though this fascinating shoreline is just a few kilometers away from the Mumbai city; it is quite amazing that this beach is not yet explored completely. An unusual location perfectly suits to those who prefer to be in solitude, Kashid’s unspoiled natural splendor fills the tourist with a refreshing warmness. Chaul, which lies near Kashid, has many Buddhist caves that are of public interest, and also famous churches and temples.
