Set out from Pune after breakfast and make the roughly 3-3.5 hour scenic drive via NH66, stopping at Khambatki Ghat viewpoints for tea and photos of the Western Ghats. Plan a brief stretch at Roha or Mangaon to grab fresh snacks and local chai before the short coastal roads that lead you into Alibaug taluka and the white sands of Kashid.
Arrive in Kashid around midday, check into your beach-facing guesthouse or resort (popular options include Supriya Kashid Beach Resort or Beaches & Villas) and settle in with a beachfront lunch of fresh seafood at a local shack. Spend the afternoon wandering the crescent bay—swim in the shallow surf, relax under casuarina trees, or rent a jet-ski or paddleboard from vendors near the northern end of the beach.
As afternoon light softens, walk to the eastern headland for a peaceful sunset with views toward Murud-Janjira; climb the small rocks near the lighthouse area for a panoramic photo op. After sunset, enjoy dinner at a seaside restaurant serving Konkani specialties, then stroll the moonlit shore or sit by a bonfire (seasonal) before turning in at your beachfront accommodation.
Wake up to the sound of waves and have a leisurely breakfast on your resort’s terrace—try a masala omelette and local konkani misal if available—then head to the northern end of Kashid Beach to rent a jet-ski or paddleboard from the vendors near Beaches & Villas for a lively hour on the water. Afterward, stroll under the casuarina trees toward the small rocky promontory and visit the lighthouse area for coastal views and candid photos, building on yesterday’s sunset vantage points.
Return to shore for a fresh seafood lunch at a beach shack such as Supriya or one of the family-run shacks serving pomfret or bombil fry, then sign up for a guided snorkeling or banana-boat ride offered by local operators if the sea is calm. Later, take a short scooter ride to Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary’s edge or the nearby Revdanda Fort area for light exploration and birdwatching—perfect for a quiet contrast to the morning’s adrenaline.
As the day cools, walk the crescent beach toward the eastern headland to catch a second, more relaxed sunset and maybe join a seasonal beach bonfire arranged by your resort; sample kokum sherbet or local coconut-based sweets from a roadside vendor. Finish with a laid-back dinner of Konkani thali or grilled seafood at your resort’s restaurant, then wander the moonlit shore for a peaceful end to a full Kashid day.
Sleep in a little and savor a slow beachfront breakfast on your resort terrace—order a Konkani-style breakfast like thalipeeth or goda masala with filter coffee while watching the morning tide at Kashid Beach. Take one last walk along the crescent shore toward the eastern headland to collect shells, snap a few final lighthouse photos, and check out of your guesthouse after packing up.
Before leaving the coast, stop at Revdanda Fort (a short drive south) for a quick stroll through the ramparts and some coastal history, then enjoy a relaxed seafood lunch at a popular shack in Revdanda village or at Supriya back in Kashid for one final pomfret or bombil fry. Begin the drive to Pune via NH66/ Mumbai-Goa route in the early afternoon, planning a tea break at Mangaon or a photo stop at the scenic Ghats near Poladpur to stretch your legs.
Arrive back in Pune by early evening (depending on traffic) and unwind with a light dinner at your favorite Pune café or home — try a spicy misal pav to round off a Konkan weekend — then unpack and reflect on the calm beach mornings and sunsets that defined your Kashid escape.
