Overview of the destination This place has a fantastic long beach with casurina trees and the sea is shallow and safe.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping This little village can boast of Shivkumar's Panipuri where the chaat is all very freshly made and really tasty!
The best wadis are also available here unlike the big batatavadas of Mumbai these are small, spicy and fantastic to eat. They are made of a special 'masala' that all the shops selling the wadis know and they are hot and crisp and best eaten with a small pav which is alo supplied by these sellers.
If you want dessert after the wadis and chaat buy the local chickoos, or lithchis (if you are there in May) and enjoy.
Activities & things to do The beach is always there and one can commune with nature and just chill out and relax
