Me and my partner recently been on a bike trip to Alibaug, popular beach destination among Mumbaikars. The beaches are clean as compared to that of Mumbai. Alibaug is situated in Raigad district of Maharashtra. You can go by Road through Pen or take jetty from Gateway of India to Mandwa and then take bus to Alibaug. It took three hours by road stopping in between to enjoy the scenery. It was early morning so the weather was pleasant. We took the route of National Highway.
While on our way we took breakfast break at a nearby hotel serving local snacks. I had misal pav (sprouts curry) and sabudana wada (fritters made from tapioca pearls ) which are street foods favourite.
We went Kihim Beach first as i made a list of places to go.
Lots of resorts and cottages are available to stay on the way to the beach. Finally at 9.30 am we made it to the beach and nobody was in sight. The beach was okay since there was similar beach in Mumbai and was disappointed to see this as we have come a long way. We relaxed in a shed changed our clothes and walked towards the beach.
Had coconuts which was so yummy
Then we headed to Negaon beach which was more 10 kms away and the temperature began to rise. Negaon beach was clean and had beautiful surroundings. Water sports are available for adventurous people.
Horse carriages were there and as an animal lover i was sad for their condition. People were enjoying the rides and couldn't see their agony.
All in all this beach was good to relax which made our trip worthwhile in this scorching heat.
Then we headed for lunch. We missed lot of restaurants which were nearby and after a lot of searching we found good restaurant and had veg special biryani which was so delicious that i forgot to take a picture. We got home by 6 as it was one day trip and the Murud Fort was far too to cover in one day. Maybe next time!
