Underi Fort and its sister fort Khanderi

Located approx. 4.9 miles from Alibaug near Thal, the Underi Fort and its sister fort Khanderi were once the largest and major defences during the Maratha rule. Served as a sturdy protector against the Siddi and the British in the 17th-century, this sea fort still stands tall in the Arabian Sea. Most visitors come to enjoy the picturesque setting and gaze upon the fortification wall, which is over 400-years-old. This sea fort can only be visited during low tide via small boat from the Thal beach; while Khanderi fort can be visited anytime of the year.
