Shrivardhan
beach is long and flat; and hence relatively safe. You would not face
strong waves; the way you face at Kashid. The long beach has Jiwana
Bunder(Jetty) at one end. It is interesting to take a detour and visit
this jetty, which is buzzing with activity of fishermen and their boats.
The beach has few visitors so it is ideal for families who wish peace
and privacy.
On the way to Jiwana Bunder, you can see temple
of Jiwaneshwar. It is an old temple, with simple interiors but do not
forget to see beautifully carved wooden pillars of the
temple.
Shrivardhan is the birth place of Shrimant
Balaji Vishwanath; who was the first Peshwa of Maratha Empire appointed
by Chhatrapati Shahu. The annoying fact is that the memorial of such a
brave warrior is not maintained at all by local
authorities.
Laxmi Narayan Temple in town is also very old
and famous. Make it a point to visit the same.
