Raiwadi Beach — Attraction in Maharashtra

An extremely popular weekend destination near the busy cities of Mumbai and Pune, Akshi Beach is one of the most remarkable beaches in Alibaug. Known for its rejuvenating atmosphere and fun vibes, the beach is visited by several tourists throughout the year. A great place for swimmers and ocean lovers, Akshi Beach is also considered to be a fisherman’s beach, meaning that it isn’t as crowded or commercialized as some of the other beaches in the region.

Dotted with swaying palm and coconut trees, Akshi is supposedly one of the cleanest beaches in India, making it extremely attractive to several local and migratory birds from all around the world. Every year, hundreds of bird lovers visit the beach to get a glimpse of some of the exclusive bird species that inhabit the area, including plovers, seagulls, terns, and bar-tailed Godwit. It is believed that Akshi beach is visited by over 300 different bird species annually.

Located approximately 5 kilometers from the more dynamic and famous Alibaug Beach, the shore at Akshi beach is lined with several lavish resorts and cottages and comfy holiday homes. The perfect laid-back ambience of the beach enables visitors to unwind themselves and get in touch with the nature...

This review is descriptive.

The only advantage that all alibaug beaches have is they are the nearest ones from Mumbai-Pune.

The Beach and water condition: The beach is clean from litter but the water is brownish and contaminated. Sand is black/brown

Water sports : Banana ride, Water scoter, horse ferry available (no paragliding) when we visited (Jan 2021)

Washrooms/Changing Room : This is the BIGGEST let down of Akshi beach. The facility is dirty and with NO freshwater supply for bathing. You can find homestays nearby for washrooms.

The Trees : We noticed that almost all Suru trees were chopped may be for development purposes and this was not at all good as it was harming the serenity of this beach

Food : Its an observation after tasting multiple places at Alibaug beaches including Akshi, Nagaon, Alibaug that fish served here are stale/cold stored and substandard in terms of freshness. Hense the food is also a big letdown as compared to Anjarle, Karde, Shrivardhan where you will get more authentic and fresh food.

Overall, Alibaug is a full blown tourist attraction place and it has lost its charm due to development and locals not so keen to...

It's a nice beach..less crowded..no cheap public.. Watersports also available..(1 star less due to unavailability of para sailing here, for which we needed to go to Nagaon beach😊)

We stayed at Omkardeep Holiday Resort over there. It was a wonderful experience at that place. Mr. Omkar, the very owner, is such a well spoken & humble host. He had managed all the hospitality very well for the stay. Even in absence of manpower, he himself brought us the food & required eatables. He attended us in best way possible in our two days stay. The resort is well equipped with delicious food, nice large AC rooms, geyser for hot water, swimming pool, lot of greenery, coconut trees, play area. Even the beach is just 100m walking from the backside of resort.

You can go there with friends, family or anybody. I'm sure...
