Kashid Beach - Undiscovered Heaven




Kashid Beach is about 120 km south of Mumbai in Raigad District. It is easily a great getaway for a weekend trip with family and thats what we did!! We, family of 9 people rented a TATA Sumo and set on our journey at 6am in the morning. The journey was not long but the time was spent in interesting conversations and singing songs. Soon before we realised we were already at Wadkhal Naka, a stopover for a quick breakfast. We had Marathi traditional favourite Wadapav with mirchi and Solkadi. It was so much fun sharing it with my sister, Piyu!!




When we reached Kashid it was almost 12pm. The last 30 km were very scenic and provided absolute bliss of fresh air away from Mumbai and its smog. We rented a Bunglow all for ourselves and quickly changed into Beach clothes. Me, My bro and my uncles were the first one to hit the beach. The water was cool and the beach was bit crowded due to the weekend, nevertheless it dint stop us from having fun. We dint realise how many hours it was before we got out of water. Then we relaxed and slept on beach with our beach towels and my sis was trying to make something out of sand which she called a castle.


Later it was starting to get hot and sun was up on the horizon, so I relaxed in cool shade in a hammock, sipping on coconut water...wow..just perfect. Soon Mum and Aunt made some quick refreshments ...it was a picnic after all and hence there was a picnic basket. We also had cakes for desert..yummmmm

After changing in dry clothes we hit the beach again and enjoyed a horse carriage ride. The weather was just perfect with sun setting on horizon. After enjoying the lovely sunset we set off on our journey back home and dint forget to stop at Wadkhal Naka to grab another rounds of Wada Pav!!

Everytime I eat a burger, it tastes worse, coz my mind always compares it with a Wada Pav :(.
