Outlook

October 21, 2025

Skip the crowds at Alibaug and Ganpatipule. These offbeat coastal escapes offer quiet sands, local culture, and the raw beauty of Konkan

Maharashtra's Konkan coast stretches for over 720 kilometres along the Arabian Sea, making it one of India's richest coastal belts. While popular beaches like Alibaug, Kashid, and Ganpatipule often draw the spotlight, the state is dotted with many lesser-known shores that remain relatively untouched by mass tourism. Exploring these quieter stretches not only offers solitude and scenic sunsets but also opens a window into the state's unique coastal heritage.

Here are eight hidden gems to explore.

GUHAGAR BEACH

In Ratnagiri district, Guhagar Beach stretches nearly six kilometres from Guhagar to Asgoli. Golden sands framed by Suru trees and the backdrop of mountains make it ideal for peaceful walks. The Vyadeshwar Temple and Chandika Mandir nearby add cultural significance, while forts like Anjavel or Gopalgad make the visit more memorable.

BHOGWE BEACH
