Revdanda Beach Camping
Revdanda, Alibaug taluka, Raigad district
If you are looking for laid-back beach camping on the Alibaug coast, Revdanda is a great choice. The beach runs long and flat past the ruins of the old Portuguese fort, and camps pitch tents under the suru trees with bonfires after dark. It stays calmer than Alibaug town on weekends, which is exactly the point. Korlai fort and its lighthouse sit a short drive south for a morning outing. Pen is the nearest major station at about 30 km, and ferries to Alibaug plus a cab down the coast work well from Mumbai.
Why go
- Beach camps beside the old Revdanda fort
- Bonfire nights on a long sandy stretch
- Korlai fort and lighthouse day trip
