Aravi Beach
16 people recommendvia r/pune·17 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Pune locals recommend Aravi as a quiet white-sand beach near Shrivardhan, less crowded than Diveagar, and one of the few beaches on that stretch with white sand. Several say the drive from Pune is scenic with excellent roads, and one traveller found the beach nearly empty, almost like a private beach. The honest caveats: a couple of commenters note there is not much to do beyond relaxing by the shore, and one traveller adds that good vegetarian food is hard to find and public transport is limited.
