Trip to Kihim Beach

While Mumbai’s Juhu Beach and Chowpatty need no introduction and are famous across the country for its chaats and action packed adventure sports.  we planned a trip to Alibaug with my team recently.  After being warned about pollution and oil in water and trust me, the experience was very pleasant.  We are the regular kind of folks taking air at the beach and visited with the express purpose of swimming.

Kihim Beach is located between Mandwa/Rewas and Alibaug. It is filled with the types of people, to whom picnics mean listening in a group to loud music on the transistor radio, or playing *antakshari* based on Hindi film-songs, and eating junk food straight out of plastic.

The beach is very small, and the gap between water and construction is not more than 5o meters, there are sharp rocks all around in the many portions of the beach and one of us cut his feet there.

The beach was swarming with picnicking mumbaikars on weekends. Most would play loud music and dance around their cars not harass other revelers. Some even took to the shallows but in their own group, but a bunch of Up imports suddenly decided to get in the water stone drunk carrying their kingfisher strong loudly singing 'Tu Mera Hero'.  The croud was fun. We enjoyed ourselves.
