One of the biggest advantages of Kelwa Beach over other coastal destinations like Alibaug, Murud, or Kashid is its outstanding connectivity. Situated directly along the Western Railway corridor and just off the Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway (NH-48), you can reach our resort easily by local train or car.

Here is your definitive route planner whether you are traveling from South Mumbai, Thane, the Western suburbs, or South Gujarat.

Planning Your Trip to Kelwa?

Need Station Pickup from Kelve Road?

Let our concierge arrange a hassle-free private auto or taxi transfer directly from Kelve Road railway station to our resort entrance.

1. By Train via Western Railway (Most Budget-Friendly)

Churchgate / Dadar / Borivali / Virar to Kelve Road Station

The most convenient way to reach without driving is via the Western Railway suburban corridor:

  • Board a Dahanu Road local train or MEMU from Churchgate, Dadar, Andheri, Borivali, or Virar.
  • Get down at **Kelve Road Railway Station (KLV)**. Fast locals from Borivali take approximately 65 to 75 minutes.
  • Outside Kelve Road station, shared Six-Seater (Tumtum) autos or private autos run continuously to Kelwa Beach. The ride is just 15 minutes (approx. 8 km) through scenic coconut groves.
  • Beyond Sands Tip: Inform our concierge 30 minutes before reaching Kelve Road station, and we will have a verified auto ready for you at the platform exit.

2. By Road from Mumbai & Thane (NH-48 Highway)

Approx. 95 km / 2 to 2.5 Hours Driving Time

From Mumbai or Thane, join the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway (NH-48) heading north through Ghodbunder Road / Dahisar Toll Naka. Past Vasai and Virar, continue toward Manor.

At the Manor flyover junction, take the left turn towards Palghar-Kelwa Road. Follow the signboards toward Shitla Devi Temple. Beyond Sands is located directly opposite the temple entrance gate.
