Maharasthra's own coastal district of Sindhudurg stretching 128 km, lies just north of Goa. Sindhudurg boasts of picture post card beauty, abounds in clean beaches, where, because of phosphorescence, waves glow on a full moon night, and provide a sense of rare tranquility. Dotted by an array of green villages with red-roofed houses, tucked away in coconut and areca nut groves, or mango orchards, long silvery beaches, a lagoon and picturesque fields, Sindhudurg is as yet a virgin territory to International tourists and local visitors. .
