Visit Murud Janjira Fort
Murud Janjira Fort is one of the most impressive sea forts along the Konkan coast and a must visit for travellers exploring beyond Alibaug. Located off the Murud shoreline, this 17th century island fortress stands surrounded by the Arabian Sea and is famed for its strong stone walls and undefeated history. While Alibaug beach draws leisure seekers, Murud Janjira adds a powerful historical dimension to the list of Alibaug tourist places. The fort is Alibaug famous for nearby coastal heritage circuits that blend beaches with maritime history.
How to reach
Murud is about 55 kilometres from Alibaug and can be reached by road. Many visitors travel via the Alibaug to Mumbai ferry route and continue onward by car. There is no operational Alibaug airport, so road and ferry connections remain the primary access options.
Things to do
Take a short boat ride from Murud shore to reach the fort, explore its massive gateways, freshwater ponds and cannons, and enjoy panoramic sea views before returning to Alibaug hotels or Alibaug resorts.
Tips before visiting
Carry water, wear sturdy footwear and check boat timings as rides depend on sea conditions.
