Alibag Beach
अलिबाग समुद्रकिनारा
The black-sand beach in the center of Alibag town, facing Kolaba Fort. It's liveliest in the evening, with horse carts, snack stalls and sunsets.
Alibag Beach lies right beside the town center, its sand a grayish black. It is the starting point for visiting Kolaba Fort. The beach has horse carts, camel rides and all kinds of snack stalls, and in the evening you can watch the sun set behind the sea fort. The water is murky, so it's not ideal for swimming but better for walks and sunset watching. From the Gateway of India in Mumbai, take a ferry to Mandwa Jetty, then a shuttle bus for about 40 minutes to reach town. Weekends bring many visitors from Mumbai, and traffic is congested on public holidays.
