You can spot many fishermen on the shores or in the middle of the beach,
catching fish. It’s quite a sight to behold!
Alibaug Beach
Alibaug Beach is the main beach of the
town. This beach has the blackest sand of the region. The beach is very lively
with bathers in the morning and many food stalls in the evening. Alibaug Beach
has been one of the popular tourist attractions for a long time. The Ali Shah
Bawa's mazhar is right in the center of the town and the beach is also named
after him. The government have built a good platform for tourists to enjoy the
sea and even take a few dips with safety. Moreover, the Kolaba fort can also be
seen from here.
Brahma Kund
A beautiful holy place to visit if
you want some calm and positivity. Kund means a small pool. Here, at Brahma
Kund, you’ll find two kunds, the Shiv pool and the Brahma’s pond. It is a
rectangular water body that is enclosed by a flight of steps on all four sides.
Right in the middle of the Shiv pool, jutting out of the water, is beautiful
pristine sculpture of Lord Shiva. It is believed that this pool was created with
the water Lord Brahma bathed lord Krishna in.
Jai Bhavani Temple
Goddess Devi has many forms. Of them,
one is Bhavani who dawns a furious look. She is known to be the ‘giver of
life’. It’s also believed that she is the power of nature and the source of
energy. The temple was built during the 12th century. Additionally,
it also makes for a lush sight, being surrounded by greenery.
Kanakeshwar Forest
The Kanakeshwar Forest is a dense
forest. Tourists are allowed to venture into the forest at their own
discretion. There are many creatures that call this forest their home like wild
boars, venomous snakes and panthers. Some say the silence of the forest in the
night can be pretty intense and haunting. Because the forest is dense and has a
significant depth, it seems darker even during day-time. So, if you’re one to take
on a bold excursion, this place is for you!
Vrindavan Farm
Spread over a vast 28 acres, the
Vrindavan Farm is located near Kankeshawar. A little away from the farm, you
can also spot an arts and crafts museum. One can also shop for an array of
natural products like honey, spices, beeswax candles etc. Oh also, you must
keep an eye out for tribal art. Choose the right one and it can make for a
great décor piece!
Sounds, breathtaking, right? Get

accommodations that has cozy rooms and amazing food. A great option Alibaug has
to offer is Prakruti Resorts. Here’s hoping you enjoy a happy getaway.
