Sindhudurg fort Malvan

Sindhudurg Fort was built by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1664 on the island of Kurte near Malvan. Constructed using 500 Khandis of lead and guarded by 5000 Mavals, over 4000 workers and 100 Portuguese helped build it. The fort spans 48 acres, with a 3 km-long boundary and 52 bastions. Its cleverly hidden entrance features a massive wooden gate, flanked by two bastions of unequal height. Inside, Shivaji built a small palace, secret tunnels, watchtowers, and even sweet water wells, a rare feat for a sea fort. There’s a temple dedicated to Shivaji, built by Rajaram and later extended by Shahu, showing Shivaji’s idol without a beard or mustache. The fort also houses Shiv temples like Amriteshwar and Bhavani. Around 150 houses once existed inside; today, only 10 remain. The only land access point, ‘Ranichi Vel’, was used by Tarabai in 1706. Surrounded by sea, the fort can be reached via a 1 km boat ride from Malvan, with tourist visits allowed between 8 A.M. and 6 P.M.

Malvan Beach

This is one of the most commercially active beaches in the Konkan. It is buzzing with life at the jetty where most of the fishermen anchor their boats of various dimensions and colors. There are a few bars and restaurants on the beach unlike most other seashores on the Sindhudurg coast. It is one of the friendliest atmospheres alive with banter among the locals.

This beach is not a place for relaxation, however, it is close to the city centre and perhaps the most accessible beach in the area. Another promising forthcoming attraction here is a one of its kind marine park in Asia. The government has proposed the marine park since 2000, but there has not been any action on it yet. The area of Malvan is a fortified island on the coastal reef. Coral patches have been recorded in the interstitial regions around the Sindhudurg fort. Most of these marine flora and fauna from the inter-tidal area is exposed during any low tide. So keep an eye out for a great opportunity for scuba diving. However, for now the best attraction on this beach remains to be the Sindhudurga fort.
