This is a long stretch of over 5 km of clean beach starting from Revdanda harbour with a green wall of coconut trees on the eastern side.You get an excellent view of the sunset with colour play in the sky which lingers far beyond the actual sunset.

The hamlet of Revdanda is home to the much famed Datta Mandir. To reach the temple which is located atop a hill one needs to climb up 750 odd steps.Once atop, one can get to see a bird's eye view of the entire Revdanda village which is truly breathtaking.

The Korlai Fort is another major attraction here.The fort on the small hill was built by the Portuguese as a watch post for the protection of the Revdanda harbour. There is a new lighthouse on the western slope for guiding the oncoming ships to Mumbai Port.
