A coastal town in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, a popular weekend getaway for Mumbaikars along the Arabian Sea for its white-sand beaches, coastal seafood, forts, and picturesque views. Alibaug literally means ‘Garden of Ali’ shares its heritage with Jewish and Israeli culture and comes under Raigad Municipal Council. Anciently there was an Israelite named Ali who used to live here. He was a rich man and planted many mango and coconut trees in his garden. After a while, the localities called it ‘Ali chi Baug’ (Ali’s Garden). And that’s how this tiny coastal village surrounded by the Arabain Sea got its name. Apart from being the city of sea, sand, and cultural mix, Alibaug is also known for the Magnetic Observatory which is the only magnetic observatory in Asia and one of 12 in the whole world.
