I came here early Winter Morning and hence I have mixed review about this place. While the beach was clean and I saw that some people were doing morning walk and Jogging, still there was this one BIG concern- the stray Dogs!!! My God! As soon as you enter the gate towards seashore, there were around 3-4 dogs that kept barking and running towards you. So I cancelled my plan to go for a run and sat there only. It is still a decent option when compared to other beaches in Mumbai including Juhu. The entrance was a bit littered, but the sea was clear and the waves were quite pleasant.
After few hours, the local vendors came who offer a variety of snacks and refreshments. So, I can conclude that this place may be a better option for evening walk rather than morning ones. As per some local friends, there are horse rides also in the evening and some good food options which is a great way to enjoy some local flavor while taking in the scenery.
However, when we passed by the beach in the evening, it was overcrowded ( a normal scenario in Mumbai ). Hence, If you're looking for a peaceful beach experience, this may not be the best option.
Overall, this is a decent beach experience with plenty of local flavor. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a place to relax and take in some sea breeze and some delicious snacks. Make sure you visit in the evening and if you are planning for morning walk, please carry a stick or something with you to shoo away the stray Dogs.

The palace was built by Bundela King during Mughal period.
The palace was the official residence of Paharsingh, the Bundelkhand chief. Even today, the nearby area is called "Pahadsinghpura".
The expenses incurred for construction of the palace was around 50,000 rupees in the year 1652.
Soneri Mahal has an entrance which is dominated by a highly impressive and dominating gateway. It also has an arched compound wall.
Soneri Mahal has pillared front and several rooms resting at the building’s back. The upper levels of palace can be accessed by two narrow staircases. A small museum dedicated to Aurangabad and Indian history is built on first floor.
This is a historical Palace which have derived its name from the golden paintings that adorned it in the past.
These paintings have now faded, leaving the two-storeyed spacious building, which has a Rajput style architecture.
The Palace now has a museum within which exhibits ancient pottery, sculptures, household items, antiques and remains of local palaces.
This museum is situated in Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University campus.
You can see the palace from outside and imagine the grandeur past that it has been through.
