Sparkling blue waters, endless stretches of golden or silver sand, sun beams dancing through the swaying palms, waves playing with the sand dunes, a cool breeze whispering sweet nothing in your ear. This is the land of Ganpatipule, one of Maharashtra's almost virgin beaches. The venerated ancient temple of Shree Ganapati, believed to be 400 years old is situated here. It is built in a colossal rock on the shore and the idol is believed to be Swayambhu. Ganapatipule also has a beautiful unspoiled beach. Ganapatipule is 375 km from Mumbai, 331 km from Pune, 144 km from Kolhapur and 50 km from Ratnagiri, which is the nearest railhead.
