Alibaug, Kashid, and Murud Coastal Girls’ Getaway

Dates are flexible. This day-by-day plan is provisional until you choose exact travel dates.

Day 1
Alibaug

Alibaug’s Beaches and Coastal Forts

  1. Kanakeshwar Temple (near Awas) — Take the forested hill trail for a more active outing and broad coastal views — early morning, ~3–4 hours return.
  2. Kihim Beach (Kihim) — Unwind on a quieter stretch of sand, with time for a beach walk — late afternoon, ~1.5–2 hours.
  3. Awas Beach (Awas) — Finish with a relaxed seaside stroll near the village — sunset, ~1 hour.

Early morning: Kanakeshwar

For a change from the usual Alibaug beach-and-fort circuit, head to Kanakeshwar Temple near Awas. The climb is long and steep, with roughly 700 steps, so start early, take water, and allow around three to four hours for the return walk and a pause at the top. A local auto or cab from Alibaug town is the simplest way to reach the trailhead; agree on the return pickup before setting off.

Afternoon: Take it easy

After the climb, have lunch in Alibaug town or near your accommodation; budget roughly ₹200–₹500 per person for a casual meal. Leave the hottest part of the day for a proper rest rather than trying to squeeze in another long outing.

Late afternoon: Kihim and Awas

Go to Kihim Beach for a gentle walk, then continue by auto or cab to Awas Beach for sunset. The beaches are close enough to pair without rushing, but confirm your ride back as local transport can be less predictable later in the evening. Beach access is generally simple; carry water and take your rubbish with you.

Day 2
Kashid

Kashid’s Beaches and Scenic Coastline

Getting there from Alibaug
Private taxi or hired car via the coastal road (about 32 km, 1–1.5 hours; approximately ₹1,500–₹2,500). Arrange through your Alibaug accommodation or a local taxi operator; app-based cabs may be unreliable. Leave in the morning for a straightforward trip.
  1. Revdanda Beach (Revdanda) — A quieter, broad stretch of sand for a first coastal walk after travelling from Alibaug — late morning, ~1 hour.
  2. Revdanda Fort (Revdanda) — Explore the atmospheric Portuguese-era ramparts and sea-facing ruins nearby — midday, ~1 hour.
  3. Nandgaon Beach (Nandgaon) — Spend the late afternoon by the water at a less-built-up beach before continuing south toward Murud — late afternoon, ~1.5 hours.

Late morning: a different stretch of coast

Leave a generous part of the morning for the journey from Alibaug to this area, then head to Revdanda rather than making Kashid Beach the main stop. Revdanda Beach and Fort are close together, so you can take a relaxed walk and look around without rushing. Local transport or a hired car is the practical way to link the beaches; agree on the fare before setting off if using an auto.

Midday: fort, lunch and a slower pace

Allow time to explore the old fort walls, then stop for a simple lunch in the Revdanda area. Budget roughly ₹200–₹500 per person for a casual meal; options can be limited, so keep snacks and water handy. The fort is an open ruin rather than a polished visitor attraction, and uneven ground calls for comfortable shoes.

Afternoon: Nandgaon’s quieter shore

Continue south to Nandgaon Beach for a change of scenery and an unhurried seaside break. Check local conditions before swimming, and avoid isolated stretches after dark. Keep the evening flexible, with time to settle in around Kashid before tomorrow’s onward journey to Murud.

Day 3
Murud

Murud’s Seaside Views and Janjira Fort

Getting there from Kashid
Local taxi or auto-rickshaw (about 20 km, 40–60 minutes; approximately ₹700–₹1,200 by taxi, with autos subject to availability). Arrange through your Kashid accommodation or locally. MSRTC buses on the Alibaug–Murud route may pass through the area, but service can be infrequent; check locally before relying on one.
  1. Khokari Tombs (near Murud) — See the striking historic tombs of the Siddi rulers, a quieter stop beyond the beach and fort — afternoon, ~45 minutes.
  2. Murud Beach (Murud) — Take a relaxed seaside walk and unwind after the journey from Kashid — late afternoon, ~1 hour.
  3. Murud-Janjira Fort (Rajapuri) — Explore the famous sea fort by boat and enjoy its coastal views — morning or early afternoon, allow ~2–3 hours including the boat ride.

Settle in, then see a quieter side of Murud

Leave the morning and early afternoon flexible for your journey from Kashid, arrival and check-in. Once you’ve had a chance to rest, head to Khokari Tombs for a short visit; it’s a peaceful change of scene and a good option if you’d like somewhere less busy than the shore.

Easy evening by the sea

Continue to Murud Beach for a walk and some downtime. Choose a nearby local restaurant for dinner; budget roughly ₹250–₹600 per person for a casual meal, depending on what you order. Keep the evening unhurried—this is a nice place to watch the light fade over the water.

Fort visit, if you have time

If you can start early enough after arriving, or can arrange your visit for the next morning, make Murud-Janjira Fort the main outing. Boats go from the Rajapuri jetty, and the visit depends on boat operations and sea conditions; confirm locally before setting out and leave time for waiting and the return crossing. There’s no need to squeeze it in after a late arrival from Kashid.
