If you thought that you could only experience you best drive along the coastline only on exotic foreign locations; then you are mistaken. Our country is full of such drives; you just need to explore them. One such drive is from Alibaug to Murund Jajira, which I think is the best road drive along the coastline that you could ever experience in your life. It's an exasperating refreshing drive along the western Konkan coastline. This road drive will introduce you to some amazing and unexplored beaches along your way.

Alibaug is the famous weekend getaway for most of the Mumbaikers. Alibaug is just few hours run from Mumbai city. It's a beautiful beach which is clean and peaceful and is the closest place that Mumbaikers can visit and yet be away from any crowd. Few only know about the other places ahead of Alibaug. If you want to spend your weekend in very exotic places apart from Alibaug then you should drive ahead of Alibaug towards Murund Jajira. Along your way you can explore almost 8-9 beaches which are so distinctively beautiful that you have to see them for your self.

Western coastline or Konkan coastline is very famous for its beaches but this short drive from Alibaug to Murund will not only refresh your soul but will also introduce you to this unexplored beautiful coastline.

The best and unique thing about this trip is that each beach is unique from each other. Each beach has its own charm and beauty that you just can't move ahead without stopping.

The ideal way to have maximum fun and exposure of this trip is to plan your trip for the weekend. Simply pick your bike or your car and leave for this drive anytime of the year.

First stop of your trip will be Alibaug; which is a small town with a beautiful beach. The amazing part of this trip will be its expenditure. You'll easily get low priced accommodation and food throughout your trip as these places are small towns and not many tourists visit these places.

The town is equally quite and peaceful. The next day early morning you can leave for Murund Jajira which is just a few hours away. The road from Alibaug to Murund is along the coastline so you get to see the sea throughout your drive. At every turn you'll see a new beach. Just park your vehicle at the roadside and hit the beach with no one to stop you and no one to look at you. These beaches will refresh you to the core and you'll not feel the pang of long drive at a single moment. The most interesting part of these beaches is that they are so clean and pure that you'll wonder when was the last time you have seen such crystal like water at any beach.

Once you reach your destination which is Murund jajira; another beautiful beach awaits you. Murund is a small town similar to Alibaug and Jajira is an ancient monumental fort build in the middle of the sea.

In Murund one can get rooms near the beach, over viewing the sea.

The night in Murund is very quite and peaceful. You can experience the calmness by taking a stroll in the town and also on the beach which is even calmer and peaceful. The ideal way to spend a night in Murund is to have a bonfire on the beach and let the time pass by.

Next morning you can visit the marvellous Murund Jajira. You can have a boat ride to the fort which is easily available at a very nominal price.

The interesting part of this fort is that it is build right in the middle of the sea; and when you reach the top you can experience the most outstanding view of the sea all around you.

This journey will leave you with the most memorable and fun filled memories that you could cherish for a lifetime. But the journey doesn't end here, on your way back to Mumbai from Murund you can experience the lush green western plateau.

You would have never loved your drive this much ever before. It only takes a few drive down to forget the city's hush life, for a heavenly getaway!
