## 2-Day Family Itinerary for Srivardhan Beach

Planning a family getaway to Srivardhan Beach in Maharashtra? Here’s a relaxed, travel-tested 2-day itinerary perfect for two families including little ones. Srivardhan is known for its serene shores, gentle waves, and comfortable family accommodations—a wonderful spot to unwind and explore!

### Day 1: Welcomed by Waves

**Morning:**  

Arrive early and check in at a family resort or homestay—top picks include Gulmohar Family Resort and Aapli Wadi Homestay, both celebrated for their spacious rooms and proximity to the beach[3]. Start your day with a hearty breakfast, sampling local favorites like poha, sabudana khichdi, or idli.

**Mid-Morning:**  

Stroll down to Srivardhan Beach, a long stretch of golden sand ideal for safe swimming and sandcastle building. Toddlers can play on the shore or shallow waters with supervision, while adults and older kids join in beach sports or a friendly volleyball match[2].

**Lunch:**  

Enjoy fresh seafood or simple vegetarian plates at beach shacks. Many homestays are happy to prepare customized toddler meals[3].

**Afternoon:**  

Pay a peaceful visit to the nearby Lord Shiva Temple, a stroller-friendly site with quiet gardens[4]. Head back for nap time, letting the kids rest.

**Evening:**  

Return to the beach for sunset—horse and camel rides are popular here, and local carts sell coconut water and ice cream for a sweet treat[2]. Finish the day with dinner at your accommodation or a family restaurant serving the region’s delicacies.

### Day 2: Explore Nature & Nearby Beaches

**Morning:**  

Ease into the day with another stroll on Srivardhan Beach, shell collecting, and playful beach games. After breakfast, take a short drive to Aravi Beach or Diveagar Beach. These scenic shores promise a peaceful atmosphere—perfect for families who prefer lounging by the water or engaging in gentle boat rides with kids[1][5].

**Lunch:**  

Choose a seaside eatery at Diveagar for delicious, family-friendly fare.

**Afternoon:**  

Walk through the local market for souvenirs and snacks. If your toddler needs some indoor excitement, Srivardhan now offers soft play centers for safe, shaded play[6].

**Evening:**  

Gather everyone for a finishing picnic at Srivardhan Beach and let the little ones enjoy their last round of sand play. Relish an early dinner before winding down and preparing for tomorrow’s journey home.

Saar Accha tha...(Lesson was good)

Disclaimer: I saw this series on MX Player which actually is produced by TVF and you can find it by name "Flames". I am creating this post to share a message in last episode of that series. I am in no way putting any ownership of that clip if I get chance to show just that by hosting it somewhere or if TVF can provide that as clip. That video is owned by TVF.

After a really long time I am writing a new blog post. If you see, last one was in 2009 and irony is that last post was about Swine flu and now a days I am virtually locked down at home due to Corona Virus.

Now about this post - I was watching this series "Flames" in MX Player. About 4 friends who met in a coaching class, got closed, some young romance, feeling etc.. good feeling and interesting to watch :), but this is not about series but about a lesson in last episode of this series which I really really liked and so thought, it is worth sharing with more people, even if you don't want to watch this series. If you have time and interested in such series, it is a good one too.

To give a context if it helps before watching video (or snippet) I want to share, mother of one boy forbidden him to go to coaching class as she caught his lie that he is having an affair with a girl and hiding stuff. Obviously like any parent, she felt it is her duty to be strict and stop boy from taking a wrong path as he may not be able to think things thru and might spoil his life by not focusing on right stuff like study. Nothing wrong in that.

Just then, coaching class teacher informed her about some question papers which can help in study and mother went to coaching to collect it. Teacher tried to help mother understand relationship of parent-child and that is the message I really liked. Teacher told a story which first angered the mother, as it is human that when someone tries to show what you might have done wrong and person goes defensive justifying that it was right move at that time. Probably mother was genuinely caring about her son so she went back and then teacher also told about boy, that once when he failed a test and he was afraid to go home.

"HOME" where everyone should feel safe and it is a place where everyone look to go to find peace, strength and sometime people avoid going there? Why that happens?

Now, spoiled enough, so you better watch it yourself on this link from TVF Flames Season 2 Episode 05

You can watch specific timing for this message - From 18:15 till 26:10.

I hope this message feels right to you also and helps in our life, especially parents to do a better job by supporting their children, not controlling their children.
