Kondivali Beach is located ~5 kms from
Shrivardhan and is known for water sport adventure activities available here.
Choices include surfing, paragliding on surf, and motor boat rides.
If the beaches along Srivardhan are
marvelous then the adventure sports available at the Kondvil beach are out of
this world. Situated at almost 4-5 km from Srivardhan the Kondvil beach simply
refuses to be faithful to the general definition of a beach.
The long soft white sand beach has been
remarkably spruced up to realise the dreams of every Water Sports adventure
buff. Kondvil beach is just the option if you are wondering how it feels to cut
the waves at 100 mile an hour or Para glide on the surf or even surfing on the
clear water waves of Kondvil. The adventure doesn’t start at the beach
actually, one has the option of trekking down the lovely cliffs of Shriwardhan.
If so inclined, it is possible to trek to
Kondvil Beach down from the cliffs of Shrivardhan. This is an especially fun
activity on a cool day.
Accommodation options are several in
Shriwardhan. One can find budget hotels and resorts with good facilities. There
are very few luxury hotels in the town. The hotels provide modern amenities.
