Kashid beach tucked between two rocky hillocks on the Alibaug-Murud road is one of the best beaches near Pune and Mumbai. A long stretch of beach, Kashid stretches along for almost 2 kms! Kashid with waves much higher than other beaches in Alibaug is by far the best beach in this part of the Konkan region and though quite deserted on weekdays, Kashid becomes crowded on weekends.

Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary about half an hour drive from Kashid and trek through the jungle trails is a delightful experience. The main attraction of the Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary is the beautiful Giant Indian Squirrel, but given its shy disposition, catching a glimpse is not an easy prospect.
