Located in the western suburbs of Malad in Mumbai, Aksa Beach sits along the city's northern coast overlooking the Arabian Sea, roughly 30 km from South Mumbai. Aksa is one of the cleanest and most visually scenic beaches within Mumbai city limits. Fringed by coconut palms and INS Hamla defense grounds, it preserves an open, breezy landscape compared to urban beaches.

Maharashtra

Anjarle Beach

Situated near Dapoli in Ratnagiri district, Anjarle is located about 230 km south of Mumbai near the estuary of the Jog River. Anjarle is a pristine white-sand beach backed by thick palms and casuarina trees. It is famous for the hilltop Kadiyavancha Ganpati Temple located nearby, which offers an unbelievable panoramic aerial view of the beach curve and river estuary.

Maharashtra

Diveagar Beach

Located in Raigad district, Diveagar is a serene coastal village approximately 170 km from Mumbai and 160 km from Pune. The beach stretches over 5 kilometers along an uncrowded coastal belt.

It is famous for its peaceful village vibe, abundant migratory seagull flocks in winter, and the local Suvarna Ganesh temple.

Guhagar Beach

Tucked between the Vashishti River and Jaigad Creek in Ratnagiri district, Guhagar is a broad coastal town situated about 290 km south of Mumbai. Guhagar boasts one of the longest, cleanest, and most unbroken white-sand stretches in Maharashtra, extending over 6 kilometers. The shoreline is backed by thick mango orchards, coconut plantations, and historic Konkani ancestral homes.

Maharashtra

Harihareshwar Beach

Positioned in the southern corner of Raigad district, Harihareshwar lies about 200 km south of Mumbai. The beach is surrounded by four sacred hills—Harihareshwar, Harshinagiri, Bramhagiri, and Kalagiri—where the Savitri River flows into the sea. Often called 'Dakshin Kashi', the beach features dramatic geological rock structures carved out by ocean tides over centuries. A natural rock-cut cliff path allows visitors to perform a scenic coastal walk behind the ancient Lord Shiva temple.

Maharashtra

Kashid Beach

Nestled between two coastal hillocks in the Raigad district, Kashid is situated 125 km south of Mumbai and 30 km from Alibaug. It spans a crescent-shaped 3-kilometer bay along the North Konkan coast. Kashid stands out for its powdery white sand, a rare feature among northern Maharashtra's darker-sand beaches. The shoreline is fringed by swaying Casuarina groves and backed by the green slopes of the Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary.

Maharashtra

Kelshi Beach

Positioned near Dapoli in Ratnagiri district, Kelshi Beach sits about 220 km from Mumbai near the mouth of the Bharja River. Kelshi is a secluded 3-kilometer stretch backed by high naturally formed sand dunes and dense groves of Suru (Casuarina) trees. Geologically, it is famous for holding preserved fossilized seashell deposits nearby.

Maharashtra

Kihim Beach

Situated just 12 km north of Alibaug town, Kihim is easily accessible via the ferry route from Mumbai to Mandwa. Kihim is known for its lush surrounding vegetation, coconut groves, and exotic bird and butterfly species. The beach features a unique blend of fine sand interspersed with unusual black rock formations at low tide.

Maharashtra

Kunkeshwar Beach

Located in Devgad taluka of Sindhudurg district, Kunkeshwar Beach sits along a peaceful stretch of the southern Konkan coast, about 480 km from Mumbai. The beach is dominated by the Kunkeshwar Temple—a grand 11th-century stone Shiva temple built right on the golden sand shore, often dubbed the 'Kashi of South Konkan'.

Maharashtra

Ladghar Beach
