Long time ago, one of my close friend had visited this place for a marriage and said it was a very quiet and beautiful beach. Her description was so vivid that I had an immediate longing to visit this beach. But it took almost 5 years for me to actually visit Kashid. Since I was a novice internet user, I was not well-versed with Google. But my dream turned to reality, and we finally managed a two-day family outing at Kashid Beach.
Kashid is a beach spot, half an hour from Alibaug, about three-and-a-half hours from Mumbai. It is one of the white sand beaches of Maharashtra. Unlike Alibaug, it's not much crowded and is also comparatively clean.
You have wonderful home-stays near the beach. Resorts can be a bit crowded and expensive. But we were lucky to stay at this wonderful home-stay called Kripa Sindhu and the owner's name is Mr. Pappu. It was right next to the bus stop. Wow, what a lovely place they have maintained! They have both AC and non-AC rooms with TV, a neat and clean bathroom, well-equipped you could say. They have a small garden for outdoor play too.
We spent two days at Kashid and had our own vehicle. You can reach there by bus too. There are frequent buses to Murud from various parts of the state. You also have a ferry service from CST, Mumbai, to Alibaug and later other forms of transport.
It is an awesome beach, clean, serene, and very appealing. You have water sports too at the main beach. There was a beaten up mud path a little ahead of the main road near to Sarve Huts that led to a secluded part of the beach that was sparsely crowded. The view was breathtaking here.
You have hotels and shacks right at the beach apart from other refreshments. Many people had brought in their own equipment for cooking. There was a large area of land covered by trees at the other side of the road, opposite to the beach, where people were cooking and having fun.
It has been more than a year that I went, so the description could be a bit vague, but we plan to revisit some time later this year, so I should come up with more specific details. Do not let anything prevent you from visiting this awesome, awesome beach. It is too lovely to miss out.
