What to See in Kankavli

Kankavli lies in Sindhudurg — the land of culture and natural beauty. The district is famous for its beaches, backwaters, waterfalls and pilgrimage centres. Its biggest attraction is the long, narrow stretch of beaches; on a clear day you can see the sea bed through 20 feet of water.

Then, of course, there are the forts: Sindhudurg, one of Maharashtra’s most popular and important sea forts, built in the 17th century and giving the district its name, and the famous Padmagad fort. Tourists from all over the world visit throughout the year to see this Maratha glory.
