Kick off early from Pune with a pre-ride coffee and chai stop at Vohuman Cafe, Shivajinagar before you head south; then ride the scenic Pune-Satara stretch and turn toward the coast via Kondhane Ghat for flowing corners and jungle-fringed views. Break for a late breakfast of misal-pav and fresh coconut water at Malgund Highway Dhaba, then cruise through sleepy Konkan villages, pausing for a shoreline photo op at Aksa Beach viewpoint before arriving in Alibaug in time to check into your stay and freshen up for the afternoon.
After freshening up, head out for a relaxed coastal loop starting with lunch at Rupali Beach Restaurant for piping hot pomfret and sol kadhi, then take a leisurely ride toward Varsoli Beach for sun-drenched sand, a quiet couples' walk and postcard-ready photos. As twilight approaches, stop by Kihim Bird Point to catch migratory birds and golden light over the wetlands before returning to your stay for a sunset seafood dinner and slow conversation.
As night falls, take a short ride to Alibaug Fort Jetty for a moonlit stroll along the ramparts and quiet views back to the lit-up shore; the gentle sea breeze and distant fisherfolk lights make for a romantic, low-key start to the evening. Follow this with a cozy dinner at Mandwa Beach Shack-order the catch-of-the-day grills and a creamy kokum cooler-and finish with a relaxed walk on Sangameshwar Beach where the waves and starry sky set a peaceful tone before returning to your stay.
Leave Alibaug at first light and ride south along the coastal state roads, stopping for a hearty breakfast of thalipeeth and filter coffee at Kondhane Village Eatery before the day heats up. Continue through winding seaside stretches, pause for a photo and short walk at Kashid Cliff Viewpoint, then refuel with fresh kingfish fry and tender coconut water at the family-run Dorabjee's Coastal Cafe in Murud before heading deeper into Konkan toward the Ratnagiri coast.
After the morning ride through coastal ghats, pause for a relaxed lunch at Shree Datta Veg & Non-Veg in Shrivardhan to try their spiced pomfret thali and cool down with fresh kokum sherbet, then take the bikes onto the quieter coastal backroads toward Shrivardhan's twin, Bhartiya Beach, for a lazy walk and shells-hunting on the wide shore. Later, detour to the hilltop shrine at Jaigad Fort Viewpoint for sweeping sea-and-lighthouse panoramas, a couple's photo session on the basalt cliffs, and a sunset chai from the roadside vendor before continuing south toward Ratnagiri for the evening stay.
As the day cools, pull off for a peaceful sunset stop at Bhatye Beach near Chiplun to walk the wide shoreline and watch local fishermen haul nets while you sip chilled sol-kadhi from a roadside stall. Later, ride into Ratnagiri town for a cozy riverside dinner at Ajgaon Waterfront Cafe, sampling butter-soft crab curry and steamed rice, then finish with a moonlit stroll through the lantern-lit lanes by Ratnagiri Jetty before checking into your seaside stay.
Start early with a sunrise ride along the Ratnagiri coast, stopping for a hearty breakfast of steamed modak and piping-hot filter coffee at the beloved Ambe Tea Stall near the fish market, then stretch your legs with a brief cliffside walk at Ganapatipule Viewpoint to take in the morning sea mist and the quiet temple silhouette. Continue inland via the scenic Ambolgad-Khed route, pausing for tender coconut and a plate of spicy sukha jhunka at Sutar's Roadside Dhaba, before mounting up for the steady ride toward Pune with the Konkan hinterland slowly giving way to familiar Deccan plains.
After a relaxed morning, roll out via the coastal backroads and stop for a late-lunch seafood feast at Goan Spice Corner, Dapoli-try their Bombil fry and chilled kokum soda-then take a short detour to stretch legs and collect shells at Anjarle Beach with its quiet tidal pools and a walk to the quaint Kadyavarcha Ganpati temple perched above the shore. Continue inland via the scenic NH66 bypass, pausing at Chiplun's Parshuram Temple Viewpoint for panoramic river-valley photos and a roadside vendor's warm vada pav before resuming the steady ride toward Pune as afternoon light softens into golden-hour cruising.
Wind down the trip with a relaxed early-evening detour to Mandavi Beach for a slow couples' walk where local vendors sell hot bhajiyas and sweet coconut water as the sun softens; linger to watch fishermen mend nets and grab a photo by the colourful fishing boats. Continue your ride north with a comfort stop and light dinner at the scenic riverside Chiplun Riverside Cafe, sampling spicy fish thali and chilled buttermilk before the final stretch back to Pune, arriving with time to unpack memories and swap highlights from the coast.
