The ocean is everything that wants to be. Beautiful, Mysterious, Wild and Free
Are you a sea lover? Then how could you forget this miraculous place which contains more than 10 beaches in one place? YEAH! you heard right. The city of sea "ALIBAG"!
Once upon a time, Bene Israel jews named Ali used to live at that time. He was a rich man who owned many plantations, mangoes, coconuts in his gardens hence people used to call it "Alichi Bagh" in Marathi, which means "Ali's Garden" or simply Alibag. Alibag is located in Raigad district of Maharashtra which contains Alibag beach, Kashid beach, Murud -Janjira, Akshi beach, Kihim beach, Kolrai, Revdanda, and versoli beach.
In the last, to last summer I and my friends were planning out for a short and sweet budget outing. But we were unable to fix up one location cause some of us wanted to go for trekking, for some wanted to go on the fort and I wanted to visit the sea again. so finally we came to the decision that why don't we go to the place which has a fort, beaches and can do trek also! ALIBAG IT IS! So our journey started we had decided to go by ferry being in Mumbai, India.
