A Simple 2-Day Alibag Weekend Plan

Day 2: Visit Korlai Fort and its lighthouse in the morning, then head to Nagaon for water sports or to Kashid for its white sand. Get back on the road by late afternoon to beat the Sunday-evening rush into Mumbai.
Have an extra day? Add Kolaba Fort at low tide and a slow morning on Akshi or Kihim Beach.
