Pirwadi Beach in Uran - 5 Tips For A Perfect Day Trip with Family

Pirwadi Beach in Uran, together with Mankeshwar Beach and Nagar Beach, form the triad of beaches located at a distance of 50km from Vashi, the only set of beaches in the Navi Mumbai region. This beach is an ideal spot for a day picnic – far enough for a long drive (takes about 1.5 hours to reach by car) and near enough for a day outing. This proximity to Navi Mumbai makes this beach a popular destination for city dwellers.

Pirwadi Beach is unlike any other beach you will find in Mumbai or Maharashtra for that matter. You do not have a typical sandy beach and crowds. The shoreline here is largely rocky, the sand is blackish and it is well-interspersed with rocks. And the view is just mesmerizing.

If visited during the day, you will find the place too sunny and there are very scarce options for resting in the shade. Hence, most beach enthusiasts visit during the winter season when the weather is pleasant. The beauty of this beach gets enhanced around dusk when the entire beachline glows against the setting sun.

5 Tips for a Perfect Day Trip

While many families visit Pirwadi Beach & dusk on this beach is beautiful, but if you are traveling with women, it is better to return before sunset. This beach is less crowded and hence many groups come here solely with the purpose of drinking, and it can get unsafe post-sunset.
Be sure to carry sunscreen and sunglasses. There is not much shade on the beach, the trees cover the roads and not the beach.
During high tides, the beach is completely submerged and you will not get to experience the beach. So plan your travel to coincide with a low tide.
The last leg of the route to Pirwadi Beach lies along the ONGC area. However, Google Maps can be confusing, you can take directions from the locals instead.
Washroom facilities on the beach are shoddy and nonexistent. So the best option would be to use restrooms in the restaurants.
