If you ever thought the phrase “Journey is the destination” was just a hyperbole, then you need to visit Murud – Janjira. The journey thru the palm fringed rounds and pristine beaches along the way are an experience in itself.
For those staying in Western suburbs of Andheri, Malad and Borivili, Northern beaches of Maharashtra are God- sent. Bordi which is 180 Km north of Mumbai is an excellent getaway.
One of the pleasures of being in Mumbai is that you can take off for for a beach weekend at every whim. Alibaug is a popular getaway and that makes it very crowded especially on weekends. Kihim beach, which is just 9 Kms away from Alibaug, offers a better alternative as it is relatively quiet.
