Kihim Beach
किहीम समुद्रकिनारा
A quiet, tree-lined beach north of Alibag with few visitors and beautiful scenery. The surrounding woodland is a good spot for birdwatching and butterflies.
Kihim Beach lies about 10 km north of Alibag, with white sand backed by casuarina and coconut trees. It is much quieter than the beaches to the south, making it ideal for walks, picnics and sunset watching. The Indian ornithologist Salim Ali once observed birds in the woods nearby, and in winter you can spot many birds and butterflies. The surroundings are villas and boutique guesthouses, with limited dining options, so bring your own drinking water. It is close to Mandwa Jetty, making it a good first stop after arriving by ferry.
