About
Hitre informacije: Golden sand meets a thrumming city skyline at the crescent-shaped beachfront, where evening joggers and kite-flyers share space with sizzling food carts. Local vendors hawk bhelpuri, pav bhaji and roasted corn, and a single sunset hour can fill the air with at least five distinct spices and the salty tang of the sea.
Vrhunci: At the high point of Ganesh Visarjan, hundreds of earthen lamps and thousands of marigold petals are floated at once, turning the surf into a shimmering carpet of orange and candlelight. Street-food aromas mix with devotional chants and the clink of brass lotas, as families send tiny clay boats bobbing away under the salt-scented night sky.
Insider tips
- Wear flats or sandals, sand and crowded promenades make heels impractical.
- Head to the southern end near the Chowpatty stretch for the classic sunset "Queen's Necklace" photo.
- Avoid swimming, currents are strong; enjoy snacks and photos from the shore.
- If visiting on weekends or during Ganesh festival, arrive early to secure space and avoid long food queues.
