Sun worshippers may take their pick from among many mesmerizing locations, such as Mandvi and Bhatye beaches.
A beautiful stretch of beach perfect for lingering can also be found at Mirya Bay, the location of Bhagwati Port.
In India, Ratnagiri also holds up as that seaside town from where the delicious Haapus or Alfonso golden mangoes are harvested.
More than anything, a trip to Ratnagiri should be consummated with a stop at the all-revered Ratnagiri Fort. Shaped like a horseshoe, Ratnagiri Fort was built during the Bahamani rule between 1350 AD and 1500 AD.
With a length of 1300 meters and width of 1000 meters, see where the fort touches the sea on three sides, while its fourth side sits on dry land. You have to capture that one. |
