About Kolaba Fort
At low tide you simply walk across the sand from Alibaug beach; at high tide you need a boat or you wait. Inside are temples, carved animal reliefs and, remarkably for a fort ringed by seawater, working freshwater wells. Check the tide table before you set off.
What to see and do
- Low-tide walk straight across the sand
- Freshwater wells inside a sea fort
- Carved tiger and elephant reliefs
- Siddhivinayak temple within the walls
- Alibaug beach sunset afterwards
