History-lovers can take a trip to Bankot fort while animal lovers can seek out jetties to reach the creek nearby Konkan coast.

Bhandarpule Beach

Bordered by two hillocks, this pristine beach with the bluish-green sea is a sight to see. My advice to you is to enjoy the view but keep the swimming part to another beach.

The beach is very near the Ganpatipule Bus stand.

Bhatye Beach

Welcome to the velvety Bhatye Beach . Collect shells, stroll or play on this 1.5 long clear beach very near Ratnagiri City.

Hedvi Beach

Hedvi Beach , with its black sand, is sandwiched between two white beaches – Velneshwar and Ganpatipule. A small stretch of secluded land where a twosome can have quality time together! Of course, stay away from water due to the rocky terrain.

Kelshi Beach

My best childhood memories of a beach are collecting shells and cowries. As I grew older, sunrises and sunsets were preferable beach activities. At Kelshi , you can do both and as it is just 240 km away from Mumbai.

Kihim Beach

Kihim beach is tranquility personified, most times of the year. During the monsoons, however, the sea is rough, and the hard stones make it worse.

You can go snorkeling and Scuba diving here. Dolphin watching boat rides is another activity that most visitors indulge in.

Try out the unique Malvani cuisine, which is a combination of Maharashtrian and Goan non-vegetarian food traditions.

Dahanu Beach

If you seek respite from the hustle-bustle of life, visit Dahanu beach . This small town is located some 150 km away from Mumbai. The beach has jet black sand to dig your feet into. Beware! The rough sea is not an ideal location for a dip.

Fact tip: The world-famous Warli painting originated in the tribal areas nearby.

Sunsets are glorious, but you may encounter a small crowd here.

Shrivardhan Beach

This beach is the cleanest one around Konkan, thanks to the local government. It has a beautiful Promenade with small benches. You can also swim here during low tide.

Be ready to pay a small token of gratitude for the maintenance of this clean beach.

Tarkarli beach

This is one of the best Konkan beaches in Maharashtra to discover little newborn turtles. The seawater at tarkarli beach is crystal clear and the beach as smooth as can be.

Try out the snorkeling and scuba diving facilities here.

Velas Beach

Plan a trip to Velas beach in the months from February to April so that you are in time for the Velas Turtle Festival.

Enjoy the incredible sight of the turtle eggs hatching and working their way to their second home, the sea. The sea is calm here so, enjoy your morning walk and head straight to the sea view and enjoy a full menu coastal lunch here. This place is easily accessible by road from Pune.

Velneshwar Beach

This is how I describe the Velneshwar beach – clean, isolated, broad, serene, shallow, pristine, relaxing, and amazing. Food is average; boarding facilities near the seafront are above average.

India is in the temperate zone, and summers are hot! So, visitors coming to India tag on to the heritage and culture line and ignore the beautiful coastal beaches.

Though the climate is hot, there is a small fact not understood by many. Only insiders know that Mother Nature has bestowed on this country with a lengthy beach in the Konkan region. This geographic formation is a refreshing respite that combats the unrelenting and scorching heat.

The Indian Coast is flanked by the Bay of Bengal in the west and the Arabian Sea in the East. Most of the beaches on both coastlines are calm, serene and number one stress busters. It is tough to decide to go west or East.

So, when the unbearable heat and the holiday season came together, hand-in-hand, somebody took a firm decision to visit the Konkan places in the East. I joined the idea and was not for a moment, disappointed by this decision.

This is what I found, and I have put it as a summary under the Konkan coast list.

The length of the Konkan coast is 700 km running from south Mumbai along Goa ending at the Goa-Karnataka border. Numerous big and small beaches dot this coast. Most of the beaches of Maharashtra come under this list

The Konkan coast, to my amazement, was less crowded than many other beaches in India . Some of them are off the civilization radar and are silent spectators of the waves that hit their sands. They are all scenic, peaceful, and windswept with eye-capturing vegetation around.

Some of them are on or near pilgrimage sites hence revered. Few of these, especially beaches in Maharashtra, are located bang next to a historical fort or building.

The famous ones are Alibaug , Ganapatipule , aare ware beach, and Harihareshwar. I bet you must have never heard of others. They remain hidden in a small rustic setting, away from the maddening crowd.

A word about how to access these beaches – You can enjoy the trip best on a two-wheeler with a sea breeze brushing your cheek. More than 80% of beaches are near Mumbai and Pune weekends may be the best to explore these beaches.

You can also plan trips to some beaches in the off-season when the crowds are busy working. I mean that you can consider Beach trips between February and April just as summer closes in. If we have missed any beaches in the best beaches in Maharashtra, please comment and we will add them to the list.

Tourist places to visit in konkan.

Konkan is the rugged section of the  western coastline of India  in the state of Maharashtra. Konkan has several coastal districts. With the Sahyadri Mountains forming the eastern boundary and the Arabian Sea to the west, Konkan can rival any part of this incredible country in terms of natural beauty.

With the beaches, mountains, jungles, rivers, and numerous waterfalls of all sizes – Konkan is a synonym of natural beauty. Due to its unique geographical location between the sea and the mountains, Konkan receives extremely heavy precipitation every year and that has helped in the growth of thick forest on one side of the mountains.

The forests are home to numerous economical, decorative, aromatic, and medicinal plants and also many rare and endangered species of animals and birds. Mineral water steams oozing from the mountains and flowing down like silver lines is an abundant spectacle all over the Konkan region and the tourists will love to visit Konkan again and again for the immense natural beauty that unfolds in front of you at every turn of the road.

Culture in Konkan

Due to its location in the Arabian Sea, Konkan has developed a typical coastal culture dominated by fish and coconut. Konkani people do form one of the most diverse ethnic denominations in the country and there are actually more than 19 communities, casts, and sub-casts covering Hindu, Muslim, and also Christian religions.

The language spoken by people is also an extremely versatile one and is known to have as many as 19 dialectical variations. This has also been acknowledged as one of the oldest independent languages of India and also has a very prominent and well-appreciated literary tradition. Though the history of Konkan, people are that of struggles and migrations, they are also among the first to understand the importance of education and have also immensely contributed to the field.

Since the 1970s, there was little road transport infrastructure, and commuting by road between different areas of Konkan was truly a difficult problem. Later on, a large network of minor roads in rural areas was constructed and now each part of Konkan is well connected by road so that traveling is now easy and convenient which promotes Konkan Tourism.

This development of local transport has immensely contributed to the development of Konkan tourism in many parts of Konkan and today it is one of the most coveted tourist destinations in the entire country. The Konkan railway is the most convenient means of transport around Konkan and traveling with Konkan railways through the lush green Sahyadri Mountains dotted with waterfalls can truly be a lifetime experience.

Climate in Konkan

It is due to a unique geographical position between the sea and the mountain Konkan has a typically hot and humid coastal climate with not-so-cold winter. The southwest monsoon causes heavy precipitation during the monsoon months and though Konkan looks best during that time of the year, that might not be so good for tourists as heavy rain can make traveling from one place to another a difficult proposition.

Winter and spring lasting from October to April is probably the best time when tourists can visit Konkan.

Tourist Places in Konkan

Located in the picturesque Konkan region, Tarkarli Beach is renowned for its pristine waters and vibrant marine life. It’s a hotspot for water sports and offers a tranquil escape, perfect for relaxation.
