Drive from Vadodara overnight (left 20 Nov around 10–11PM) and arrive Alibaug mid‑morning; check in to your pet‑friendly hotel and settle in. Confirm hotel pet policy, check‑in time (usually 12:00–14:00).
Lunch at a popular beach shack near Varsoli or Nagaon: fresh seafood and Konkan curries (shacks generally open 11:00AM–6:00PM). Good for a relaxed meal after travel.
Easy post‑lunch walk and playtime on Varsoli/Alibaug beach — pet‑friendly stretches allow dogs on leash; ideal to relax and dry out after the drive. Most beaches open all day; best before sunset.
Visit Kolaba (Colaba) Fort on foot if tide allows — check local tide times (accessible ~2 hours around low tide); good photo ops and short walk from Alibaug Beach. Open 6:00AM–6:00PM typically.
Dinner at a well‑rated local restaurant near beach or your hotel — choose a place known for seafood and local thalis; most restaurants open till 10:30–11:00PM. Ask about pet seating/rooftop options.
Relax at your pet‑friendly hotel; prepare gear for next day's beach and water activities. Confirm next‑day pickup/boat times if you booked water sports.
Hearty breakfast at the hotel or a nearby beach cafe; hotels typically offer 7:30–10:30AM breakfast. Fuel up before a day of water sports (confirm pet sitting if needed).
Head to Nagaon Beach for water sports (banana boat, jet ski, parasailing). Most operators run 9:00AM–5:00PM; book morning slots for calmer seas. Pets usually cannot join water rides — arrange supervision at hotel or a pet‑friendly sitter.
Scenic coastal drive to Kashid (sand dunes and clear waters) — popular for swimming and photos. Kashid Beach is open all day; parking available near the beach.
Back in Alibaug, enjoy a nice dinner at your hotel or a recommended seafood place. A relaxed final night is ideal to prepare for the return journey next morning.
Drive to Mandwa ferry/boarding point for return crossing to Mumbai side (if using ferry). Allow buffer time for parking and ferry boarding. Ferry boarding times vary — arrive at least 30–45 minutes prior.
Cross to Mumbai via M2M ferry (if booked) or drive via road back towards Vadodara; follow your preferred return timing. Ferry slots earlier in the day may be quicker but confirm pet/car rules with operator.
