A red-domed temple, which is situated on a hilltop, Datta mandir offers the picturesque view of Murud-Janjira and the entire coastal area that surrounds it. Dedicated to Shri Datta, this magnificient shrine is constructed by Swami Bramhendra. Placed on the lavishness of lush greenery, Datta Mandir, is safe and sound from all sorts of commercialisation and it commands a breathtaking view, which makes the fairly strenuous climb to the top a worthy one.
Though the temple is easily accessible through the motorable road, one should try the trekking path to reach the top, which will fill oneself with a startling sensation. One should not miss the awesome view of the sunset from this point.

The Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary is an astonishing exposure. Although Phansad is a bird sanctuary, it also houses a large collection of amphibians, insects and mammals. Spread across a vast area of 52.71 sq km, Phansad is quite a lonely place not visited by scores of people and the forest replicates this with its green panorama and diverse flora and fauna that will persuade one to languish.
A leisurely walk through this Sanctuary is a visual luxury of beautiful birds and butterflies, bizarre insects and the blush of flowers in blossom. The intense air of the Sanctuary, with the exhilarating smell of rich foliage and the mildewed odor of putrefying trees is really wonderful.
A protected area with moderate hills, the woody forest of the sanctuary is a natural habitat for a variety of species. A delight of bird watchers, one can spot a number of endemic flora and fauna here. What makes the visit of the Sanctuary most precious is the rare sight of the beautiful giant Indian squirrel.

A fort in a ruined condition, Revdanda Beach Fort is a remnant of the Portuguese rule in India. Much of this Portuguese fort is in devastated condition and run over by betel nut plantations. Now a relic of the past, what remains there is, only a seven-story tower which pushes its windswept, shrubbery enclosed head over slim stem palm trees on which the betel nut fruit grow. A yawning cannonball holes in the fortification walls border the sea.
Though Revdanda Fort is in ruins, it makes a pretty sight with abundance of water flanked it by the three sides.
