The Khanderi Fort which is also an important place in Alibaug is situated on a lone island and hence tourists can visit this place again through ferry fishing boats. The fort is situated at about 3.5 kilometers from Thal beach. The fort was constructed in 1678. Later a lighthouse was constructed next to the fort to beacon ships that traverse around the sea and wish to drop anchor along the coasts. The British tried all they could to secure position of the boat but were rendered unsuccessful. However the British finally captured the fort in the year 1750 as part of the Peshwas territory. The British laid capture and control and ruled over the territory for long and was a strategic points for the British Presence in Alibaug. Soaked in the years of heritage this fort offers tourists an environment of peace serenity and also a perfect place to spend time in quietude and serenity.
