Ganpatipule is a marvelleous beach, which I wud recommend to anyone who is a sea lover. Book ur room at the MTDC resort, there are many places in bombay where u can book them. There are basically 2 types, the normal rooms or the konkani tents, take what u like, the tents are a different experience. The journey takes about 8 hours from bombay, some of the sights on the way are breathtaking. You should spend at least 2 or 3 days there. The sound of the roaring sea in the night is marvelleous.
The rooms and the tents face the beach, which is clean and the water is blue, something which u donot find easily elsewhere. The temple is great, there is a path around the mountain, from which they say that ganapati has emerged, difficult to see though.
The food at the MTDC resort is lovely and hygenic, even though at some of the local joints, u can get wada pau, misal, kandha bhajiya etc. Mineral water is a must.
A trip which is worthwhile and very enjoyable.
