Kihim beach is a famous tourist destination near Alibaug, and offers a complete break from urban pressures. The waters at Kihim are as inviting but those venturing to swim have to take caution of the rocks strewn across the ocean stretch.

Spending time at this long and wide beach lets you indulge in the sight of the ocean and the soft rhythm of the waves lapping at the shore.
