Lying to the north of the Mumbai city of India, the beaches boast of exquisite natural brilliance. Kihim Beach is an isolated beach, which has still been able to escape from the clutches of commercialization and retains its natural appeal. Surrounding the beach are numerous wooded trees, which mostly remain in full bloom, with wild flowers and colorful butterflies. The coconut trees that can be seen amidst the colorful flowers add to the scenery.

Kihim Beach is also a heaven for bird lovers, as it serves as retreat to a wide variety of resident and migratory birds. Kolaba Fort, situated at a small distance from the beach, is worth having a look at. Mandva Beach of Maharashtra is as magnificent in its beauty as the Kihim Beach.
