The sleepy village boasts of a seemingly impregnable, pre Shivaji period fort that, maritime history says, was the scene of many a bloody battle.

Vijaydurg's beach is quite hidden from view and is not obvious to the casual visitors. It is a strech of about a km with good views of the fort streching out into the sea to the right and a small plateau with a hut to the left. It is relatively clean and peaceful.

North of Vijaydurg is a flat plateau that can be seen from the southern end of the fort. It looks very attractive with casurina plantations and some small streches of isolated beaches. It is a stony plateau with a lonely lighthouse at it's western edge, the road towards which is quite rough and unmarked.
