Diveagar Beach is located approximately
170 kilometers south of Mumbai. The beach is accessible from the Mumbai-Goa
highway (via Kolad or Karnala). Diveagar is one of the beachside villages
along the Konkan coast in Raigad district of the state of Maharashtra, India. The beach contains a number of Suru trees
(Casuarina), which are common to coastal Maharashtra. The access to the beach
has a dense cover of Belu trees, which are otherwise uncommon in the
area.[citation needed] Another major attraction in Diveagar
village is a temple of Lord Ganesh. The idol has a mask which is made of pure
gold. This mask was discovered by Mrs Patil, a few decades back buried along

along with nearby towns of Shrivardhan Origin of the Peshwas and Harihareshwar. Sand Bubble Crabs can be found on the
