Kolaba Fort in Alibaug is a 17th-century sea fort built by Chhatrapati Shivaji in 1680 as a base for the Maratha navy. Set on a small rock 2 kilometres off the Alibaug shore, it is accessible at low tide by a walk across the sand; at high tide it appears to float on the sea. Inside are ruined temples (including a Ganesh temple still actively worshipped), freshwater wells within the salt sea (an unusual feature), and ramparts with cannons.
What makes this place special

Two wells inside the fort yield fresh water despite being surrounded by salt sea which is an unusual feature that historically supported the garrison.
