Murud is a great destination for a long holiday not just because of the beautiful beach and the great holiday atmosphere. Murud is just perfectly located to explore this region. Kashid is just half an hours drive away so is Korlai fort and the lighthouse not to mention the Raigad Forts es of Diveagar, Shrivardhan and Harihareshwar which are just a ferry ride across the bay!
Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary..
Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary about an hour drive from Murud is a great jungle trail and is worth exploring. 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.

The ruins of the Revdanda Fort are a reminder of the Portuguese rule in India. A seven-story tower and the fortification walls are what remain of the original fort. There is an ancient chapel within the forts premises from where St. Francis Xavier gave one of his first sermons in India.
