Akshi beach is 8 kms away from Alibaug, easily accessible by road from Mumbai. This is well known tourist spot, however one of the best place to watch number of wader species which prefer muddy beaches. One can see huge congregation of Gulls, terns and plovers along this coastal belt. Many interesting sightings have been reported here by avid birder Dr. Vaibhav Deshmukh and birders in Alibaug. The variety of species that are found in this region has been reached to count of 300+ as per his personal checklist.
Akshi and Alibaug are thus must to visit for any bird watcher/photographer. Plenty of opportunity to explore the beaches, forests along the coast that includes Phansad wildlife Sanctuary.
