The long pristine coastline of Srivardhan is most idyllic for a break from the hectic schedules of modern life and is considered as one of the best weekend getaways from Pune, and Mumbai.
The crashing waves against the black sand are worth seeing. One can find water sports like boating, paragliding, and water surfing at this beach.
