Mid April and going to beaches in Maharashtra may not be a very good
idea but yes if you find a beach like Kashid, you will never regret
going there anytime of the year. The serene beach of Kashid can attract
any tourist immediately. Far from the city hush-hush its one of the best
beaches in Maharashtra. Jut 30 kms from Alibaug you will find one of
the cleanest beach with white sand.
The best part is that the villagers are far from being persuaded by the glamour. They are very down-to-earth and believe me while roaming around one of the Villagers asked me, “Hamara gaon pasand aaya?” (Did you like our village?). And i could answer nothing but Amazing.
Trust me, you can sit and spend hours on the beach and play with the waves. And of course there are water sports facilities too.
There are few tapris on the beach side where you can enjoy pakoras, tea , nariyal paani etc.
Reach kashid from Pune: There are two routes to reach there, one from Chandni chowk -> Mulshi ->Tamhini ghat -> Kolad -> Roha (The road is little bumpy here) -> kashid. Other is, which we chose, Take Pune-Mumbai expressway route and get down at khopoli. From there take the route to Pen ->Revadanda->Alibaug->Kashid. From Alibaug, Kashid is 30kms on the route to Murund. The road from Alibaug to Kashid is scenic and road passes through beautiful small villages.
Don’t miss: Banana ride in the sea
Eat: Sea fish preparation. The resort we stayed in served us the yummy ‘Surmai fish curry’ and ‘Malvani chicken curry’.
Drink: Coconut water available in the tapris near beach
Stay: There are few resorts in Kashid like Prakruti, Kashid Beach resort, Kashid sea-face home resort, Sagar resort. We stayed at Kashid sea-face home resort (Contact no: 9226223379), which was ok. It is basically a big house whose rooms are rented by the owner who lives at the back. They serve in-house prepared food. It was ok for a night stay. We stayed in the room+hall on ground floor and had a small bad experience. At 12 in the night, few tourist came and started banging the door. They thought the owner lived in that room and they wanted a room to rent. But when we told them that we had also rented the room then the issue sorted out. The good thing is that this resort is just half a minute walk from the beach whilst others are ~10 min walk.
