If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Varsoli Beach, which is known for its scenic beauty and is located close to the Alibag Beach. For those who are religious, a visit to the Vikram Vinayak Temple is also recommended. If you have less time, you can skip the Kanakeshwar Forest and proceed directly to Kolaba Fort. Do carry some snacks and water with you while visiting these places as it can get hot and humid during the day.
