The Neighborhood

There are lot of beaches nearby, here's our take on them:
Kashid beach: Most popular beach, fun for kids and youngsters, can be quite crowded at times.
Korlai beach: For a nice walk or chat
Murud beach: Near the town and safer for a swim
Nandgaon beach: Water sports

Temples:
Birla temple: Recommended, one of the best temples around
SiddhiVinayak temple (Nandgaon)

Others:
Phansad Sanctuary: For a glimpse of wildlife
Murud Janjira Fort and Revdanda Fort: For the history lovers, the adventurous can hire a trip to the Murud fort through the sea
Amboli and Phansad dam: Not well know but worth a visit after you are done with the popular attractions

In addition, Alibaug and all it's attractions are less than an hour's drive. All in all, many attractions to keep you excited throughout your stay.

Yes. There are two options:
