beach resorts
Coastal Maharashtra Konkan has some of very beautiful beaches. With a 720 km coast line, there are beautiful beach destinations almost every 50-100 km, starting from Dahanu in the Northern part of the State to Sindhudurg, at the Southern tip.
Some popular beaches are:
Dahanu-Bordi
Gorai-Madh
Juhu
Girgaon Beach (Chowpaty)
Alibag
Nagaon
Kashid
Murud-Janjira
Harihareshwar
Ganpatipule
Tarkarli
Vengurla
Terekhol
Devgad beach
Taramumbari
kunkeshwar beach
While the beaches in Bordi, Gorai, Juhu, Alibag, Kashid and Murud-Janjira are well-developed, with multiple accommodation choices, the rest remain still off the tourist circuit. The primary reason is lack of good accommodation choices. At most of the other beaches, the only decent stay options are properties owne and managed by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation MTDC, a govt. organisation. These MTDC resorts have amazing location with great views, but being govt. run, these are not among the best in service, activities and food.
