Nivati Fort
निवती किल्ला
A Maratha fort ruin on a headland, overlooking the crescent-shaped Bhogwe Beach and the offshore reefs below; a great spot for photos.
Nivati Fort stands on a headland about 25 km south of Malvan and is said to have been built in Shivaji's era. Only broken walls and a gateway remain, but the views are superb. On one side curves Bhogwe Beach, lined with coconut palms; on the other lie the deep blue open sea and the distant Vengurla Rocks, known as the Burning Islands. From the village at the foot of the hill it takes about 15 minutes on foot to reach the top, along a fair track. Entry is free and there are no facilities. It can be combined with Bhogwe Beach and Devbagh in a single day trip on the southern route.
