Kanakeshwar Forest is a hidden gem tucked in the lush greenery of Alibaugh. It is a perfect escape from the bustling city life where you can enjoy a peaceful walk while experiencing nature at its best. The forest boasts of a famous Kanakeshwar temple located at the hilltop and surrounded by tall trees. The views from the top are breathtaking and offer a bird's eye view of the surrounding greenery.
Kolaba Fort is a historic fort located in the middle of the sea and is a popular tourist destination. It was built in the 17th century by Maratha ruler Shivaji Maharaj. You can reach the fort by a walk on the sea bridge during low tides as high tides submerge it completely. The fort offers rich history, stunning sea views and a beautiful natural setting. A must-visit if you are visiting Alibaugh.
If you have more time, then you can plan a visit to Varsoli Beach (30 minutes ride from Alibaugh Beach) or Kihim Beach (16 minutes ride from Alibaugh Beach). These two serene beaches offer a relaxing time for the visitors. You can even go for water sports at Mandwa Beach(20 minutes ferry ride from Gateway of India Mumbai) which is located close to Alibaugh.
If you have less time, then you can skip a visit to Kanakeshwar Forest and explore the local markets around Alibaugh beach and try some delicious street food.
