Description:
The Murud-Janjira beach near Alibaug, another sea town is actually nearer to Mumbai. One can delight himself with a semi-ruined fort of Janjira, which serves as a perfect backdrop for photographs. Murud is a quiet palm-fringed coastline with a three-century-old fort, a marvelous piece of architecture. It was specially built by Shivaji as the armour guard against the enemies. One can approach the fort walking through the sea during a low tide. The fort has its own water system, where drinking water can be obtained through a well dug on the fort.
