September 19 Shorewalk at Mandwa, Alibag

A short ferry ride from Mumbai lies Mandwa beach in Alibaug - a coastal haven teeming with captivating marine life. When the tide retreats, a mesmerising world is revealed, waiting to be explored.

Join us on our expert-guided shorewalk through this dynamic habitat. Peer into tidepools and discover vibrant sea sponges, delicate sea anemones, and ingenious hermit crabs making homes in discarded shells. Look keenly and you might just spot well camouflaged sea stars, graceful feather stars, and even an occasional octopus.

Unlike Mumbai's crowded beaches, Mandwa's rocky shore offers a serene sanctuary for these fascinating creatures. Learn about their unique adaptations and behaviours, and develop a deeper appreciation for the hidden wonders of this coastal ecosystem.
