Akshi, Alibaug

Captains Log; Star Date 1211.2017

Reached Akshi Beach at about 730 hrs after a rock and roll drive via the NH17 which is under repairs. The twisty section around Poynad was a good drive though.

Early in the morning with the tide near its high point, the beach looked pretty unassuming. As the sun came up a little more, flocks of winter visitors could be seen settling down.

Lying down flat on the beach and crawling up slowly helped me get close to some of the visitors.

Shooter in the open!

There’s a small parking area with some shacks retailing snacks. There's also a loo and a changing room – not exactly hygienic though.
