Do you remember the alluring beach in the song "Sagar kinare, dil yeh pukare" from the movie 'Sagar'? GayBombay takes you to that very beach on the occasion of its 11th Anniversary celebrations. That's Nagaon Beach, some 7 kms to the south of Alibaug
Nagaon Beach is known to be one of the most cleanest beaches along the Konkan Coast. The beach is lined by Suru trees that almost form a curtain between civilization and the vast expanse of the sea. Being not so much known, visitors to this beach seem to have the privileges of being on private beach. Nagaon promises to be a perfect destination to unwind during weekends. So pack your sunscreens and swimwears and set off for a great day on the Konkan coast, gleefully lapping amidst the waves and the lush coconut and palm trees. The chances are that you will leave this place with a promise to return again. This picnic is open the first 50 persons who register and pay.
