Manori Beach

About:

About 40km from Mumbai, this sleepy beach near the Portuguese- favored fishing village of Manori is a weekend retreat for the people of Mumbai and the venue of occasional beach parties. It offers a refreshing change from the bustle of India's most busy metropolis.

Manori Beache are among the most picturesque beaches that Mumbai boasts of. These beaches are located at the distance of approximately 40kms from Mumbai. The sheer scenic beauty of this beache with unspoilt sand is conspicuous with the absence of the chaotic crowd of vendors that are so common to Mumbai beaches.

You can enjoy the Sun and the Sea amidst complete silence except the music of surging waves that you would love to explore.Manori beache are dotted with some of the finely managed exotic private cottages built on the backdrop of the vast Arabian Sea and gaping Sun, that make these beaches all the more a tempting site to visit.
