Mandwa is a village in Raigad district, Maharashtra, India. It is popular as a weekend beach destination from Mumbai city, mainly because of the direct Ferry services available near Mandwa Beach to and from Mumbai.[1]
In movies, Mandwa has been popularized by Amitabh and Hrithik's Agneepath series respectively.[2]
Mandwa serves as the changeover point for Ferry services from the state capital of Mumbai and buses bound for the district headquarters at Alibag.[3] It is close to Kihim beach. Mandwa beach lies 6 kilometers from Rewas and close to Mandawa town.[4]
In 2011, the Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB), proposed to run roll on roll off (RORO) services from Ferry Wharf to Mandwa.[5]
