One of the less famous beaches in Maharashtra, the Harihareshwar beach is located in the Raigad district. Surrounded by four hills named Harihareshwar, Harshinachal, Bramhadri and Pushpadri, Harihareshwar is often referred to as Dev-ghar or "house of God".

Situated on the Konkan coast, the Harihareshwar beach is nestled near high mountains of the Western Ghats. The black sandy beach is clean and relatively less crowded. Harihareshwar has escaped rampant commercialization and offers solitude and peace in ample measures. The beach here is one of the cleaner ones and offers several water sports.

Harshinachal, Brahmadri, Harihareshwar and Pushpadiri are some of the hills that form a perfect backdrop for the beach. The hills are dotted with temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Lord Brahma, and Lord Yogeshwari.

Harihareshwar lies at one end of the stretch of beaches of Diveagar , Shrivardhan and Harihareshwar together forming the Raigad Beaches.

Harihareshwar attracts big crowds to its serene beach with calm cool breezes and many tourists select this as a vacation destination to stay some days away from the busy world. Truly in all sense Harihareshwar is a place of beauty with the pleasant ambience, temples, beach and dense woods.

Often called Southern Kashi because of its temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, Harihareshwar is situated in Raigad district of Maharashtra. A popular beach town, situated 200 km from Mumbai, it is also known as Devghar. Harihareshwar is a treat for people looking for spiritual relief or a beach holiday.
