Suvarnadurg is a sea fort, whereas Kanakdurg fort is its land counterpart. These forts were built by the Adil Shahi dynasty and later conquered by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the 17th century. They were once upon a time connected through a tunnel, which does not exist now. One has to hire a ferry on land to reach Suvarnadurg fort.
Kanakdurg fort has a light house. Broad steps lead you to the way to the lighthouse.
The two forts are at a 15 minutes( about 11 kms) drive from Dapoli, the nearest town.
