About this Destination

Tarapur Fort is one of the oldest coastal fortifications in Palghar district, dating back to medieval times and witnessing centuries of naval power shifts between the Sultanates, Portuguese, Marathas, and British. Nestled beside the ancient port of Tarapur, it was once a pivotal maritime checkpoint. Today, the ancient ramparts, stone arches, and nearby lighthouse offer a captivating journey into coastal history. Visitors can also explore the lively fishing harbour where boats dock with fresh catch every morning and evening.
