Two well known temples, the Shri Devi Sateri and the Rameshwar Mandir are situated here. On what was once an inner island and is now part of the mainland lies the old town of Malvan, almost hidden by palm trees. The rocky terrain of Malvan holds two forts: Sindhudurg and Padmagad. Formely a trading zone, Malvan is today known for its salt pans, Chinese clay pottery and Malvani cuisine.
