What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary

While some reviews mention a lack of amenities and occasional litter, many highlight its peaceful atmosphere and suitability for birdwatching and relaxation.
"I don’t know if Akshi beach can be called a picnic place. Full of trash exposed and could see dogs and crow enjoying the early morning beach. A lot a lot to be done by property owners and authorities to make it worth even going to beach. 👎👎👎"
Atul Misra
"Best beach around Alibaug. Better than the neighbouring beaches for sure.
It’s clean n not at all crowded."
Kuldip Deshmukh
"This is a very clean beach with not Much crowd. Clear water and not so wavy too. You can just walk in the water and relax. Best part is that, we could walk a long way into the sea, like 150mtrs, and the water was still below the knee. You could feel being the centre of the sea at such a distance from the coast.
No shops/shacks on the beach but you can find few small shops for tea, maggie, dry fishes, cocunut water etc near the parking area. Washroom is also present at the same parking area.
Nagaon beach is also nearby, there you can find many shops on the way to the beach. Veg/Nv thali is mostly served in most of the small eateries. However, you'll easily find small restaurants serving a-la-carte menu as well."
