Built as one of the standby survey forts for Sindhudurg Fort on land to ensure maximum protection if an attack takes place. The fort has recently been renovated and inaugurated by Shri Narendra Modi. Hope the upkeep of this fort will remain as it's now. A huge Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue beckons with information on Maratha Navy and the ships they had.
Newly added attraction on the beach of Malvan. Hosts an iconic statue of Shri Chattrapati Shivji Maharaj which was inaugurated by Hon. Prime Minister Modiji on Naval day in 2023
the only fort built by Shivaji Maharaj, is a captivating glimpse into Maharashtra's rich history. Its formidable stone architecture and strategic location offer breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea..once you reach sindhudurga you have to take a ticket for fairy which is somewhat 100 rupees for one person then with half an hour journey the fairy take you to the fort and there are so many places to visit inside the for including shivaji Maharaj Temple and his hand and foot print which is still preserved ,within one hour you have to explore the fort and then can take the fairy back to the point you started, they have less place for parking but yeah you can park if you are going by personal vehicle
A must visit historic place situated along the beautiful coastline of Malvan! Make sure to hire a tour guide inside the fortress to learn about its historic significance.
The ferry costs around 50 per person. It will vary depending on the time of your visit.

I visited this fort last weekend. It was an adventurous experience. The view from top is just breathtaking. You need to take a boat ride from the beach to reach the fort. The ticket fare is 100/- per head to and fro. Upon reaching the fort there are a ton of things to explore including temples, wells chor-rastas etc.
It was extremely crowded and sunny. Make sure to carry basic things for sun protection.
You can find small shops for basic eatables, beverages, caps etc.,

Sindhudurg island fort was built under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Construction of the Sindhudurg fort was supervised by Hiroji Indulkar who was took assistance from Portuguese engineers of Goa.
The main purpose to build the fort was to counter the rising influence of foreigners (Dutch, Portuguese, French, British) and curb the rise of Siddhis of Janjira.
The fort lies off the shore of Malvan taluka of the Sindhudurg District in the Konkan region of Maharashtra.
The best time to visit fort would be morning 8.30 to 10.30 and in evening 4 to 6.
There is ferry ride which charges 100rs per person. They also provide safety jackets to visitors.
They give visitors one and a half hour to visit the fort.
There is also facility of Scuba diving and Paracling.
There are a lot of things to see on the fort. Also there are few food stalls on the fort.
There is temple and lot of precious things kept there.
Being a follower of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj I feel Government of Maharashtra should maintain and preserve this fort for future generations, there are a lot of things to do.

The fort holds a lot of history, it is just a shame it is not being maintained in a similar fashion. The place is commercialized with litter by unmindful travellers. Somehow the stories of valour and glory left behind.
The views are mesmerising from the fort. The ferry ticket is 100 per person. Weekends are too busy and need to wait an hour. The early morning visit is recommended. Food and drink options are available on the fort at normal rates. Ferry is good.
Appreciating the timeless allure of Sindhudurg Fort, where history whispers through ancient walls, nature paints a breathtaking canvas, and tranquility reigns. Grateful for the serenity and rich heritage it graciously preserves.
Must visit once, you have to take ferry from shore 100 rs for adult. Not much places to visit as renovation work is going on. Best time to visit fort between morning 8 to 11 and evening 4 to 6. I would suggest Go in Evening as sunset looks great from fort.
This is first time we visited this fort with friends vacation time.
this place is definitely very very busy place specially to have the boat ride to reach the fort.
We took guide to get some insight about its history and findings. Remember be Hydrated as it’s a very long walk inside to see all the points. Overall nice place and great historical place to show kids.

Main Gate of shindhudurg fort. Most attractive part of shindhudurg fort. Structure are in good condition. Here guide are say about the shindhudurg fort history.
This is the entry of the fort and you'll see the rocks in different colours here, the built of this fort is really out of the world, when you climb onto the gate you'll get to see the footprints of Shivaji Majaraj, my all prayers to great maratha king Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj⛳
The fort is ancient. Devgad is famous for its peace and sublime gesture, the fort is situated on a hill top beside the creek away from the town. The fort is actually guarded by the shore and rocks, the visit will give the structure, the lighthouse is in the fort now, governed by the coast guard. Could take any pictures because my phone battery died. I saw the most beautiful sunset of my life (till now I'm just 23 😆) for the way a good experience must visit.
This place is located at malvan ... Maharashtra ... This place is very very famous for the water games and it includes the package of rs 2000 to rs 2700.. Ensure because many people come from the Goa places ...
Have a happy time there and enjoy the water sport.
