Fun at Awas Beach, Alibaug

It was two weeks back and i still miss the beach so much! Had such a great time with friends…ahhhhhhhh!!!

Sunday morning waking up at 5.30 am is just like not sleeping at all!  But had to!!!

Soooooo……the trip started at 8.00 am from Gateway of India  -  20 kms by Ferry (MALDAR was the name)  & then by road…it was a 6-seater rickshaw and we were singing songs till we reached Awas.

   
  

 In short, the route was:  Gate Way of India - By Sea- Mandwa and then Mandwa -By Road- Awas Phatak – Awas

We stayed at a house of friend’s relative. They were very welcoming and kind.  There we took some rest, had tea, changed clothes and ran for the beach… actually we walked to the beach!!!

The beach was flat and had 3 different types of sand and good. It was calm and no one else at the sight. Water was clear and beach very clean. The scenery is beautiful – trees and the beach is breathtaking.

We had breakfast on the beach and ran in the water as fast as we can. We played like small kids…playing with water, throwing sand on each other and then putting it on the face.  Then settled down and had a good chat sitting in the water.

 
 We were on the beach for more than 4 hours and there was no one to disturb us… what else we could ask for…. clean beach, good sand, clear and safe water and only us!! No vendors and no shops only a peaceful beach with calm water.

Only problem we faced was coming out of the water, but we had a ferry to catch. So after having a lot of thought and quality discussion we decided to leave the beach and go for lunch.

After taking a bath on the well, we had a delicious lunch… all of us ate as much we could. The food was fantabulous.

Soooooo………it was time to leave. We left the village again in the rickshaw for catching the ferry (This time it was PNP). 

And we returned back to MUMBAI!!! Had a good sleep at night .... for next few days had a dark skin and sunburn ... soooooo will be going back sooonnnnnn!!!!
