Geography & terrain

Kihim lies in the Raigad district of Maharashtra on the Alibaug coast, 10 km from Alibaug and 110 km from Mumbai — the quiet beach village of the region, its long beach, the koli life and the peacocks set on the coast's green edge.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the coast's old trade and the koli fishing — the beach village of the Konkan's west, with the village's modern role as the quiet weekend alternative of the Alibaug circuit and the butterfly-and-peacock stop of the region; the village's history of the sea trade and the colonial-era settlement, with the koli fishing life of its shore, gives Kihim its beach-village character.
