Does the sight of a billion twinkling stars leave you breathless?
Good News! We have arranged a deep sky observation camping on a Private beach at Alibaug.
We often pay a short visit to the beautiful beaches and are forced to leave, with a heavy heart, within hours of arrival. What if the beach time gets enhanced and extended for enjoyment to the fullest. Enjoy a weekend getaway at the unexplored beach of Revdanda. Located about 17 km ahead of Alibaug, Revdanda beach is a clean, uncrowded and peaceful beach to camp. The clear water and pristine sand of the beach set the mood for relaxation. If laying back is not your style, you can spend your day by participating in Cricket, Football, water sports, Frisbee or just getting a dip in the water. The night time is the best time as you could see the star-filled sky, light up a bonfire, try a hand at BBQ & just chill out with your buddies. The sea breeze coupled with the ambience at our campsite doubles up the fun quotient.
