Home to the iconic Juhu Beach, acclaimed Prithvi Theatre & ISKCON Temple, this breezy sea-facing neighbourhood is one of the city’s jewels, studded with homes of Bollywood celebrities, designer boutiques, swanky sea-facing restaurants, hip pubs & discotheques, a range of hotels along the shore suiting every budget, sea-food specialty restaurants and a variety of street food like Pav Bhaji, Bhel Puri and Pani Puri at the beach.

    Good for weekend evenings
    One of the best places to visit during the Sunset time. You have wide variety of access to the places near like temple, theater, pubs, discotheques. Also you you have access to wide variety of foods from pani puri to costlier dishes nearby.

    Be careful
    Really nice beach to walk across but be warned do not have anything in your hands. Little children ran up to us straight away asking for money and trying to put their hands in our pockets. Do not give any of them money once you do one they all want some. They will follow you until you get to the next group of children so please be careful

    After a long time I visited Juhu Beach in spite of staying few km away. It's one of the most popular tourist attraction in Mumbai. For any tourists without seeing Gateway of India and Juhu Beach, the tour is incomplete. It's a six km long beach from one end to another with soft sand. The main beach in the centre is the most popular. It has got many street food stalls and some water sports facilities. As you go north side it becomes quite. A lot of people staying nearby come here for walk/jogging. On weekends it is very crowded due to lot of family crowd. The Sunday mornigs are very popular with youngsters who love to play cricket on the beach. Thanks to authorities it is cleaned every morning. The public is not allowed after 12 midnight.

If you visited to Mumbai, and not visit to Juhu Beach then your trip was incomplete.
Juhu beach is one of the iconic and most loved places in Mumbai, people usually visit with their family to enjoy the Subset and Sunrise.
Now, Juhu beach authority was started the service of boat, paragliding and many more with nominal price.
This place was always crowded and In this place you meet people from every Corner of city. I visit two times, first time with friend & Second time with family. Both time a enjoyed alot.
Juhu beach there is so many photographers who clicked your photos and give you hard copy with nominal prices (likely Rs.50/-).

Lovely stretch of beach - but dirty
Mar 2020
We were staying in the area from 3rd to 6th March, so we were regular visitors to this beach.

One of the main features of the beach area are the Food Stalls On Juhu Chowpatty. Making and cooking wonderful including the famous Pav Bhaji.

There are a few places of interest nearby, Gandhi Statue, Mermaid Statue and Chatrapati Shivaji Monument.

There are no sunloungers or umbrellas along the beach, not really a holiday beach. Some visitors do come and sit on the sand.

The authorities do endeavour to keep the beach clean, including a tractor raking the sand and removing the litter. It is a thankless task as some visitors are reluctant to take their rubbish away or place in the bins.

In the evenings there are thousands of people along the beach watching the sunset and enjoying the cool sea breeze, some got into the sea.

There are loads of hawkers selling, sweets, snacks, inflated balloons, candy floss and so much more. There were a number of beggars, mainly young children.

On evening we were having a sun downer, beer, at the Bay View Bar (Citizen Hotel), a guest gave 2 beggars a large carton of food, which he purchased in the hotel. They looked at it and when the guest left the tossed cartoon and food onto the beach for the crowd to eat, were not that hungry then.

One day we walked along the beach and we were surprised the see the amount of rubbish in the sand including condoms.

Juhu Beach is the most popular beach in Mumbai among the tourists and locals and hence mostly crowded. It is a long beach and certain sports / fun activities are also available, also seems to be a preferred place for locals for morning & evening jogs / walks. The beach is also known for several street food stalls with a distinctive Mumbai taste like Pav, Bhel, Pani Puri, Kulfi-Faluda etc. While buying anything on the beach, a proper negotiation with the vendor is recommended. The neighboring area of the beach happens to be one of the posh localities in the city, which houses several Bollywood biggies. Several prominent hotels are located at the beach side. Parking could be an issue during peak hours. The place has its own vibe and an ideal place for spending some relaxing and entraining time with family and friends.

Good sunset experience
Jun 2022
I am from Delhi and visited this beach in June 2022 with family. This beach is enjoyable during sunset. Despite of muddy sea water and dirty sand, its still enjoyable at the sunset time for some stunning sunset views. I spent two evening in this beach and the thing I noticed is that this beach is going to be vanished in coming years if no action taken. In Delhi, mostly all public places have dustbins and strictness about not throwing the waste here and there. In this beach I found that no one is worried about cleanness. People eating kulfi, gola, bhutta, etc etc.. and throwing gola glasses, kulfi stick, eaten bhutta stick, polythene and all sort of waste anywhere on beach..very sad. Dustbin are very rare only with some food stalls. Every few steps on beach you will strike with a garbage thing. The situation is actually critical but no mumbaikar is worried about it.. as if Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has nothing to do with Mumbai. This beach's future is looking like of Girgaon chowpati where now its impossible to go in water during low tide as the beach is full of garbage. Very said that the city municipality, state bodies all busy with politics, millionaires and stars living in city spend time on foreign beaches and no one thinks about Amchi Mumbai.

Lively beach day and night
Mar 2023 • Couples
We visited this beach twice recently, the first time was Tuesday evening 28th February and again during the day on Wednesday 1st March.

Juhu is situated in the western suburbs of Mumbai, roughly 25 kilometres from Churchgate Station in the heart of the City.

At the main entrance to the beach there is a food court. This comprises of a number of permanent kiosks selling Mumbai's renown street food including Vada Pav, bhelpuri, panipuri, sevpuri, pav bhaji and so much more.

The beach with it's golden sand stretches six kilometres along the coast as far as Versova and is washed by the Arabian Sea.

Swimming is not permitted here as the currents are considered to be dangerous.

There are no sunbeds, loungers or umbrellas along the beach. During the day there are a variety of water sports including large inflatable rides available.

The beach takes on a new life in the evening as hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands of people head to the beach to enjoy the cool breeze coming off the sea. The are food stalls along the beach as well hawkers walking up and down selling all sorts of wares. Beggars also walk the beach begging.

At night time the food kiosks are illuminated and create a funfair atmosphere and there is a real buzz.

There was a large screen ,situated on a boat anchored out at sea, which was showing advertisements and cartoons.

On Tuesday evening we did sit on outside having drinks and food, overlooking the beach from the Sea Side Patio, Citizen Hotel.

From our vantage point on the terrace, as it got later on the evening, we saw the people drift away home at that point the beach cleaners appear and start to clean up the considerable amount of rubbish left behind. They leave the beach clean for the visitors arriving in the morning

When walking along the promenade, which is currently being modernised, keep an eye open for the very ornate old metal street lamps with large figures of fish wrapped around the base.

The popular beach in the Western Part of Mumbai
Feb 2020 • Friends
Juhu is a very famous beach in Mumbai. Specially because many Bollywood celebrities lives in this area. Then there is Juhu beach where people go for picnic, enjoying the sunset, relaxing on the fine sand and spending some quality time with friends and family.

The Juhu beach is a much admired beach in Mumbai. A very long beach that is surrounded by iconic hotels and residents of famous cine personalities.

No tickets, better to go in the evening. Mumbai is always humid; so avoid the mornings. The beach is open till late night 11 pm. On weekdays, less crowded. But come holidays and weekends, the place teems with people.

It is a favourite place for jogging among locals. If you are lucky, you can spot a celebrity.

Water is clean, the beach is far cleaner than others in Mumbai.

Approx 2 hours is enough to cover the important parts of the beach.

The waters are safe, and the beach area too is safe but finish by 8 pm. Lot of eateries dot the beach---Mumbai special flavours like vada pav and pav bhaji are easily the best.

In Mumbai, your itinerary is incomplete without a visit to Juhu beach.

Wonderful place!!!
Jan 2020 • Family
The famous Juhu beach is quite clean compared to the last time when we had visited 15yrs back....its better to visit late evening once the crowds thin. However, children begging for food are quite irritating. The crowd, the liveliness of this beach makes a human being happy and fresh too
