Malvan as a tourist attraction

Malvan, situated in the Sindhudurg District of Maharashtra, is famous for the old Sindhudurg Fort that was constructed by Chhatrapati Shivaji in 1664. It took three years for constructing the fort with the help of several labourers, skilled workers and artisans. 

Various other forts, such as Sarjekot, Rajkot, Padmagad, Bharat Gad and Bhagwant Gad, are also quite popular. Another important attraction in the region is the Malvan Beach, known for its beautiful surroundings and a big fish market.
 

The Chivia Beach, Tarkarli Beach, Achara Beach, Kolamb Beach, Arse Mahal Beach, Tondavali Beach, Devbaug Beach and Shiroda Velagar Beach are the major beaches situated near Malvan. Malvan is also popular for the Malvan Marine Sanctuary that is rich in coral and marine life.
