This quiet uncluttered beach town, 145 kms from Mumbai, is a great weekend getaway from Mumbai. The Dahanu-Bordi stretch is 17 kms. This once-barren land thrived under Irani settlers; an earthy people. The beach is the main attraction in the town: the sand is fringed with a series of orchards and is a perfect place to de stress, sun bathe, swim or just go for long walks. The really empty stretches are in the South towards Dahanu and towards the north in Umergaon. Unlike other beaches in Maharashtra which are silver, the beaches in Bordi are golden. Bordi has a strong Parsi influence and is a good place to see and enjoy their culture.
