Called the 'Dakshin Kashi' (Southern Kashi) of Maharashtra, Harihareshwar sits where the Savitri river meets the Arabian Sea. The ancient Shiva temple on a promontory, four black-sand beaches, and almost zero tourist crowds make this one of Konkan's best-kept secrets. Combine with Shrivardhan (14 km) and Diveagar (30 km) for a perfect coastal circuit.
Best time to visit
A quiet temple-beach ("Kashi of the South") best Oct–Mar. Pair with Shrivardhan and Diveagar beaches and the Velas turtle hatchlings (Feb–Mar only).
