Shrivardhan is about 15 Kms from Harihareshwar and Diveagar is a further 15 kms from Shrivardhan. Shrivardhan is another secluded beach while Diveagar shot up in popularity after a serendipitous discovery of a golden mask of the elephant god Ganesha.

Surrounded by four holy hills Harihar, Harshinachal, Bramhadri and Pushpadri Harihareshwar is a region in Konkan which is amazingly beautiful with hills playing the perfect foil for long stretch of pristine beach. The Harihareshwar temple built in the

6th century with the dieties of Vishnu Brahma and Shiva is the primary attraction in Harihareshwar along with beautiful stretch of beach.
