Relaxing weekend trip to Kihim Beach and Kankeshwar Devasthan Temple from Pune

Image
Kihim Beach Distance: Located approx 118km from Ravet, Pune. Parking: Car parking space available near the beach. Stay This place located near a lot of cheap homestays. What did I like about Kihim Beach? It is a calm and clean beach. It is a less crowded beach in the Alibag area.  Nice view due to the coconut tree. Kihim Beach is one of the most popular Alibaug beaches with a long stretch of sandy beach intermittent by rocky stretches. The Khanderi and Underi fort's loom over the horizon at the Kihim Beach and along with the rocky stretches offer one of the most beautiful views of the setting sun. Quiet and calm. Good for walking and taking fresh air. chilling out here is a really fabulous experience. THERE ARE CLEAN BENCHES TO SIT! 99% percent of the beaches don't have even one bench to sit on, and even if they have, they aren't in a condition to sit. Activities To Do: Water sports are available here. Here rate is cheaper than Alibaug beach. -
