Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a night stay in Malvan to explore the less‑crowded Chivla Beach and enjoy a sunrise boat ride to the Vengurla Lighthouse. To shorten the trip, skip the Ratnagiri stop and head straight to Malvan, turning the journey into a single long day of driving with brief breaks at Kankavli and Alibaug. Either way, keep a flexible schedule to accommodate traffic and weather conditions along the Konkan coast.
