Nagaon - Romance the Beach..
Nagaon is one of the most romantic destinations near Pune with the vast expanse of the Nagaon beach lined with 'suru' trees extending endlessly onto Akshi another beautiful beach to the north of Nagaon. Nagaon is a secluded beach with fewer visitors than Alibaug, making Nagaon more attractive to the traveler looking to just relax and laze around away from the crowds of the cities..
Nagaon is a small hamlet set close to Alibaug with a beautiful beach. The beach at Nagaon is predominantly a sandy beach unlike most other beaches here in Alibaug. Nagaon is a vast expanse of flat beach with soft fine mixture of white and black sand. Nagaon is a safe beach for a dip in the water and one can walk a long distance into the sea. The afforested area around the Nagaon beach is very romantic and would remind one of the Keri beach near Terekhol in Goa.
Revdanda Fort
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. You can see the Korlai fort at a distance and some lovely views of the sea from Revdanda fort.
9 kms. from Nagaon across Revdanda Bridge is the beautiful Birla temple within the Vikram Ispat premises. The towering dome built in white granite is visible from a long distance. Situated on a small hillock, you can walk up to the temple over well-paved stairs. The prayer hall is open on all sides and a transparent roof. The temple has idols of Shree Radha-Krishnna, Shree Shiv-Parvati, Goddess Druga and Lord Surya.
About 15 kilometers from Kashid is the Korlai fort and lighthouse. Built by the Portugese the Korlai fort has three inscriptions within the fort. Over one of the inscriptions surmounted by a cross is a coat of arms with a shield, the Portuguese star in the center surrounded by seven castles. The other inscriptions, one over the chief entrance, and one in the chapel, are worn out and unreadable.
