Kolaba Fort is situated in the sea at a distance of 1–2 km from the shores of Alibag. Kolaba fort is built on a rock, a little way from the mainland and at high water an island.
The average height of the fort walls is 25 feet. It has two main entrances, one on the sea side and the other towards Alibag. An interesting feature of this fort is that it has freshwater wells in its premises even though it is a seaside fort. In the monsoons, the fort can be reached by wading through waist-deep water at low tide. However, at high tide, boats must be used to reach it.
