Tourist Seasons in Alibaug

October to May offers the best weather for beach activities and water sports. Winter (November-February) is particularly pleasant with temperatures between 15-30°C. Summer (March-May) can be warm but less crowded on weekdays. Monsoon (June-September) brings heavy rainfall with rough seas, making many beach activities unsafe, though the lush green landscape has its own charm. Weekends and holidays see heavy influx from Mumbai, so weekday visits offer more tranquility.
