Aksa Beach
July 27th 2008 18:01
Today being a Sunday I went for a drive. My plan was to go out of Mumbai however we became late owing to my late night surfing 
and well we got out by 11.00 am. I found myself at Aksa Beach after some 2 hours of driving and it was a wonderful place!
Not crowded at all... it is a wild beach. By wild I mean the sea does not seem tame. (Well I don't know how you feel about the sea but I find it has a character, different at every beach. So this one seemed untame and wild. And maybe this 'feel' has something in it, cause quite a few deaths have happened here due to its unpredictable nature.)
What I guessed in my short time there was that the water probably comes in too quick during high tide, I was standing on the rocks (which are very interesting I must mention, they were all covered with these weird coral/shell type stuff. Which looked kinda gross but interested me) when the water started coming in and since I was really alert I just waded back quickly but one patch of my way was already water logged, so while frolicking in the water if I had failed to notice the rise in the levels it could be a bad scenario! So my sympathies with the people lost on this beach.
There are also some vendors at the beach which sell hot tea, corn cobs, bhel and other snacks.
This beach is next to a village called Madh. As Mumbai grew around this village it now mainly consists of a bunch of slum houses and a few small brick apartments, but along this village one can get to the Madh Fort, thoug that is usually closed for public. However there is a small path leading to a Shiva Temple from where we can get really close to the Fort from behind.
