Kashid beach is a good weekend gateaway. Kashid beach is located in the North Konkan region of Maharashtra. It is located 30 km from Alibag and 135 km from Mumbai on the Alibag-Murud road.
Kashid Beach is a favourite destination for beach seekers who do not wish to travel as far as Goa. There are a number of shacks by the beach that have hammocks so that you can rest in the shade and sip coconut water when the afternoon sun gets too hot to bask in.
Kashid is famous for its white sand, blue seas, green mountains, paddy fields, and rivulets. Kashid has a 3 km stretch of beach tucked in between two rocky hillocks with Casuarina groves all around the seashore.
The waves here are unusually high and can be paradise for surfing. The waves can reach a height 5–6 feet even during the non-monsoon months. However it is dangerously high during the monsoons and surfing is not recommending during the months of June to September.
