Uttan beach is a new found place yesterday ie on Sunday the 18th of April 2010. It is close to Gorai beach and extremely scanty or very less crowded as compared to the obnoxious Gorai beach which used to be a good hangout place around 10 years earlier.
From the Mira Bhayandar flyover to the dead end of the road When U take a right towards Gorai, you read Gorai to be 12 Km & Uttan beach as 9 km away. Heading the same road to Gorai as U reach the Police Chauki and take an Uphill that leads to Gorai, instead U take a right that leads to Uttan Beach.
As U reach to the interiors of a calm village U would feel as if U have lost track and heading to a wrong direction but hold on an ask a local and U would be guided to 'Velankani'. Don't worry though since its the same place which leads to the Uttan beach. More famously known as 'Velankani' due to the statue of Mother 'Velankani' a place of worship for the Christians.
Right ahead would U see through the bushes of a small hill in the backdrop the soothing sight of the waves, kissing the silver sand and the breeze grazing past your ears assuring U that U've finally reached Ur Destination - Uttan Beach!
The beach is a small strip of land/sand coupled with a few rocky edges and ends in to a land-lock also making it close to the look of a Virgin beach. Very few people come here may be due to its small stretch and weak accessibility. But over and all I would rate it a good run away spot very close to Mumbai and a good new place to be once in a while, definitely better than Gorai.
PS: Carry your own snacks and beverages from the city since availability of the same in the interiors is sparse.
