6. Purnagad Fort: The small square fort of Purnagad Fort, which covers an area of twenty-two acres and has no outworks, sits atop the hill. Fields within the fort were not taxed by the Peshwa administration since fort men, known as Gadkaris, cultivated them. The Purnagad Fort offers beautiful views of the sea and Gaonkhadi village. 

7.Devgad Beach and Devgad Fort: The Devgad city and tehsil names Devgad or Devgarh are derived from this mediaeval fort located at the confluence of the Arabian Sea and Devgad Creek. In 1705, Kanoji Angre, the chief of the Martha admiralty, was crucial in constructing this elegant-looking fort. Devgad is a well-protected port town with a natural harbour. Previously, large ships would dock at the port jetty.

Because the fort was surrounded by water on all sides when it was erected, it was given the name "Janjire Devgad" Janzira means an island in Arabic. It has a total area of 120 acres. In the fort, there is a Ganesh temple. The fort houses the port office. This is where the lighthouse is located.

8. Devgad beach: located on the Arabian Sea coast in Maharashtra's Konkan area, 30 kilometres south of Vijaydurg beach and 7 kilometres north of Kunkeshwar beach. Devgad Beach is a peaceful beach in Sindhudurg district's Devgad town. It's a popular picnic place, only two kilometres from Devgad Bus Station.

9.Vijaydurg Fort: The earliest constructed fort on the Sindhudurg coast, Vijaydurg, also known as Viziadrug, was built during Raja Bhoja II's reign Shilahar dynasty construction period 1193-1205. The fort was once called "Gheria," due to its proximity to the settlement of "Girye."

According to folklore, this is one of only two Maratha forts where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj personally flew the saffron flag. "Torana" is the other fort. Because it was virtually impenetrable, Vijaydurg Fort was dubbed the "Eastern Gibraltar." The Waghotan or Kharepatan stream, which is 40 kilometres long, is one of its locational assets. The creek's shallow water prevents large vessels from entering. Maratha vessels may also be moored in this stream while remaining unseen from the sea. It is a protected historical site.

It is also the place where helium gas was discovered. On August 18, 1868, British astronomer Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer found helium gas from the Vijaydurg fort during a total solar eclipse. August 18 is designated as World Helium Day. At Vijaydurg Fort, Devgad Panchayat Samiti and Vijaydurg Gram Panchayat commemorated the 153rd World Helium Day.

9. Ambolgad Beach: Ambolgad was a fort built during the Maratha Empire's reign. It has now been completely eradicated. Only a damaged cannon and a well remain in the fort, but Ambolgad's greatest draw is its natural gift of a pristine and safe beach.

The Yashwantgad Fort was built in the early 1700s as an island stronghold at the Arabian Sea's Rajapur Creek on one side. It was once safeguarded on three sides by a trench that functioned as a type of moat, but that trench has since vanished.

The fourth sea-facing side contains a long continuous wall with 16 bastions, with the main entrance on the eastern side, albeit much of it is now in ruins owing to decades of neglect. On January 1, 1817, a British ship, HMS Outram, sunk near the Fort, prompting the then-government to build a lighthouse at adjacent Jaitapur.
