North of Mumbai. Approx 130kms away, beyond Vasai, Palaghar.
Western Express Highway merging into NH8. Go to Manor. Turn left from Manor – 20 more kms is Palaghar.
It’s a well known beach with a temple etc and hence attracts hordes of people; close to a well functioning town as well so a lot of day-trippers come
Acco options
Lots of options but some crazily priced and others not so great. Hard to find a decent acco. Lucky to have found one.
Manshanti (Station road west) – Non AC double bed room for around Rs. 450. Functioning food offering but neat and tidy with family atmosphere inside the compound.
Telephone:
052525 222646
052525 609611
9892251183
9967837981
Noisy and loud neighborhood on account of loud local functions or parties
Transport
Great drive on the National Highway, via Western Expressway within the city. Rode the thumper out.
Took unknown return path to connect to the highway. Rode through some nice scenary amidst farmlands, farmhouses and villages. Refreshing.
A non-descript turn will come before Manor towards left (west). A decaying board will mention Safale and Kelva beach. This turn should be about 3-4 kms after "Ramakrishna mission" (on right side but a board does come on the left side). This route takes one through nice, asphalted, scenic village roads.
Beach quality
Shallow but rocky
Gets crowded in evening but easy to find secluded stretches. Careful of the human excrement.
