When you fall short of words you begin to spout poetry. Sounds illogical, but when you are the only soul sitting on a beach under a canopy of stars with just thundering waves and a lonely lighthouse for company, believe me, it?s easy. Life truly is a beach. I hit upon this truth early one morning on the sands of Vengurla's Sagareshwar Beach, as the first light began etching out the world around and the soft sand took on a golden hue. With its white foaming surf, deep blue sea and a backdrop of swaying green palms, Sagareshwar is a picture postcard setting for a Me, myself and I kind of vacation.

And Sagareshwar, as the saying goes, is just the tip of the iceberg. Vengurla?s coastline is dotted with some of the most exotic and virgin beaches in Maharashtra. This small coastal town portrays the quintessential beauty of the Konkan: beautiful seashore, thick coconut groves and small undulating hills a veritable treasure chest of myriad shades of green.
