Marine Drive is the most easily identifiable landmark associated with Mumbai and is indicative of the glamor and glitter of the city. It is essentially a 3.6 km long, arc-shaped boulevard along the South Mumbai coast that starts at the southern end of Nariman Point and ends at Girgaum Chowpatty, popularly known as Chowpatty Beach. The coast wraps the Arabian sea and is the best place in Mumbai to watch the sunset or even to just take a leisurely stroll by the sea any time of the day or night.
The Gateway of India is, without doubt, one of the most popular tourist hotspots of Mumbai. Sitting proudly on the Apollo Bunder, it overlooks the Arabian Sea.
It is one of the defining monuments of the city of Mumbai and was built in the year 1924. The construction was undertaken by the famous architect George Wittet, to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai.
Popularly known as Chowpatty, the beach is located in southern Mumbai along the western railway route. This small sandy beach is a popular place to chill, and a must-visit for all tourists who visit Marine Drive for the first time.
At night, the beach appears to look like a colorful fair. Children from all age groups rush to ride the Ferris wheel and merry-go-rounds, while the adults indulge in the city’s famous street snacks.
It is best recommended to go for a long drive across the sea link during early mornings or late nights when the traffic is at its leanest. A drive on the sea link during the monsoon months is best.
The view and beauty of the bridge at night is a sight to behold as the stay cables are entirely lit and the vehicles running on the bridge make an amazing photo opportunity for all photography enthusiasts.
Juhu Beach is one of the most famous and most visited beaches in Mumbai. It has an extensive shoreline, and you will find people jogging on the Beach during the early morning and evening.
Tourists are advised to enjoy the scenic view, fresh sea breeze, mouth-watering street food, and pleasant walk on the Beach. Swimming is not allowed on Juhu Beach, so do not venture into the sea as the water currents can be dangerous. There have been many incidents of drowning, so please be careful.
