Four unknown beaches of Maharashtra

I have always been lured by beaches and GOA has always been my favourite destination. But there are other beaches in the state of Maharashtra which is not so popular but have its own charm.
The following four beaches of Maharashtra are geographically very close to each other. One can cover all these beaches on a single day.

From where to start

Start from Dabolim airport of GOA. Vengurala is 100 km away from Dabolim. If you are planning to travel by train then from Madgaon railway station of GOA take 10103 Mandvi express, 10111 konkankanya express, 50108 Sawantwadi road passenger to reach Sawantwadi Road railway station. From here the distance of Vengurla is only 30 km. Just hire an Auto or a Car to visit all the following beaches.
