| About Alibaug Tourism |
|
A small, idyllic town on the narrow strip of the Arabian Sea, at the southern tip of Mumbai, Alibagh or Alibaug,
is fringed with tall coconut trees and golden sandy beaches lapped by
the ocean. Apart from the quaint village houses, it also has farm
houses of Mumbai's affluent folk. Nearly 300 years old, Alibaug was founded in the 17th century by Sarkhel Kanhoji Angre, a naval chief of Shivaji's kingdom. The Marathas made Alibagh a Taluka in 1852 and named it Shribag. Because Alibaug
was not connected to the mainland by road at that time, the only way to
get here was through the sea from Revas, Dharmtar or Mankule. However
the construction of the Dharamtar Creek opened its doors to a wider
public, connecting it to metros like Mumbai. A weekend getaway and a popular business centre today, Alibaug is frequented by affluent Mumbaiites,
mostly to enjoy the beauty of the sea. The town and its surrounding
