Even a slow and steady pace

has a rhythm to it.

it carries you forward inch by inch,

every single day you are still further ahead

than where you were before.

However, one lesser known aspect of Maharashtra’s beauty is the hidden beaches of the state. Located on the western coast of India, Maharashtra is home to some fine beaches of the country. Although Goa is the biggest beach destination of the India thanks to its party culture, Maharashtra’s beaches are quiet, serene, clean and perfect for getaways from Mumbai and Pune. These beaches make you feel one with nature. Most of them are adjoining coastal towns where you can experience the local rural life and taste the lip-smacking local cuisine.
