If you like Kashid Beach, you might also enjoy these destinations.
Expect a laid-back vibe with hammocks strung between casuarina trees, local shacks serving piping hot Maggi and spicy Konkani fish thalis, and decent water sports during the dry months. Weekdays are blissfully empty, while long weekends bring in the Mumbai/Pune crowds. Don't expect Goa-level nightlife or fancy beach clubs; Kashid shuts down early.
From Mumbai: The smartest way is the M2M Ro-Ro ferry from Bhaucha Dhakka to Mandwa (1 hour), followed by a 45 km drive to Kashid. Alternatively, drive via the Mumbai-Goa highway (NH66) taking the Khopoli-Pali route (approx 4-5 hours). From Pune: Drive via the Mumbai-Bengaluru highway, taking the Khopoli exit towards Pen and Alibaug (approx 4-5 hours). Nearest railway station is Roha (50 km).
Must try: Surmai (Kingfish) and Pomfret Rava Fry, Prawns Koliwada, Sol Kadhi (a pink, digestive coconut-kokum drink), Ghavane with coconut chutney, Ukadiche Modak (sweet coconut dumplings)
Pre-order your meals at homestays or local khanavals (eateries) a few hours in advance. Fresh seafood takes time to procure and prepare, and they don't operate like fast-food joints.
Planning group trips to Kashid Beach is the ultimate weekend hack for Mumbaikars and Punekars who are tired of the crowded shores of Alibaug and the long, exhausting drives to Goa. Nestled beautifully on the Konkan coast, a Kashid group tour offers the perfect mix of relaxation, coastal road-tripping, and adventure without burning a hole in your pocket. With group tours available from just ₹1,250, organizing a getaway with your college friends or office colleagues has never been easier. Unlike other beaches in Maharashtra, Kashid boasts a stunning 3-kilometer stretch of clean, white-ish sand backed by a dense canopy of casuarina trees, making it highly photogenic. When you book Kashid Beach group packages, you can expect days filled with thrilling water sports, evenings spent lounging in hammocks, and nights bonding over bonfires and authentic Konkani seafood thalis. Whether you're looking for an affordable weekend escape, a beach camping experience under the stars, or a base to explore the nearby Murud Janjira Fort, Kashid delivers on all fronts. Just remember to pack enough cash, download your offline maps, and get ready to experience the most pristine beach within a four-hour driving radius of Mumbai.
