Alibaug Beach

Alibaug Beach is the Konkan coast's most accessible beach from Mumbai — a wide stretch of black sand near the town centre with fine views of Kolaba Fort and the Arabian Sea. The closest good beach to Mumbai (2 hours by ferry), it is the top Alibaug sightseeing destination for Mumbai weekend getaways. Horse riding, water sports, and beachside seafood are available. Free entry; most lively on weekends. Take the ferry from Gateway of India for a more scenic arrival.
