Akshi Beach
अक्षी समुद्रकिनारा
A secluded beach between Alibag and Nagaon, surrounded by casuarina woods. In winter the estuary mudflats attract migrating waterbirds.
Akshi Beach lies about 5 km south of Alibag. It is a long stretch of sand with little commercial development, backed by casuarina woods and quiet. The estuary mudflats beside it attract large numbers of migrating waterbirds in winter, and birdwatchers have recorded the rare Lesser Yellowlegs here. The village also has a 9th-century ancient stone monument. It suits early-morning walks and birdwatching. There are no lifeguards, so swimming is not recommended.
