The rising hills of Sahyadri on east and the depths of Arabian sea on the west contribute to the unparallel beauty of Ratnagiri. Ratnagiri district has all the beaches to seduce you with their diverse offerings like shimmering water, palm trees swaying madly in the breeze on the bank of the silver sun kissed beaches. |
