Apart fromthe beautiful beaches and island forts, the coast is also well known for the king of fruits—mangoes, cashew nuts and kokam—which in turn attracts a lot of tourists. The coast here has distinct morphological features from the rest of the Indian coast and has a unique combination of nature’s endowment, with scenic beauty of bays, beaches, islands, and forts. The Malvan region refers to some talukas of the Ratnagiri district and Sindhudurg district in Maharashtra, on the western coast of India.
