Kunkeshwar is famous, both as a picturesque holiday resort and a religious place. The elaborately carved Kunkeshwar Temple was built around 1100 AD, by the Yadava rulers.The temple is considered as a fine example of contemporary sculpture.
Southwards along the coast, beyond the creek at Mumbri, is a lovely walk all along the rocky slopes. it ends at the temple of Kunkeshwar, a lonely stretch of sand that simply sparkles in the sunlight.
