Shrivardhanश्रीवर्धन
Spend one night in Shrivardhan for a quiet beach break and Konkani seafood; it's a 3–4 hour drive from Mumbai or Pune, best as a weekend getaway.
Shrivardhan is a coastal town in Raigad district, Maharashtra, known for its beaches, historical significance as the birthplace of the first Peshwa, and fresh seafood. It's less crowded than Alibag or Kashid, making it a relaxed alternative for a short Konkan coast trip.
