    Ecstatic!
    Indeed a beautiful place to relax in the city of dreams! We visited during the beginning of monsoon and with light showers the weather was just pleasant to experience the beauty of the Arabian Sea from marine drive! No matter the time of the day, it was serene ❤️

    Marine Drive, The Queen's Necklace
    Marine Drive is a beautiful seaside promenade with the Arabian Sea on the one side and the bustling megacity, Bombay passing by. When I visited there was construction underway on a portion of the promenade but there were walkaways that had ben erected for safe walking. It is most visited by locals, seniors on walks and young people all dressed up in their finest. It is a great place to people watch

    Nice to take a walk and enjoy the views.
    Nice place to chill with the locals, take a walk and enjoy the views. Apparently, Sunday morning is a good time to go, if you want to see 'local activity' like people practising yoga or something. We went on a Saturday morning when it wasn't too busy. I am guessing it is packed in the evening.

    Beautiful Marine Drive
    I am a fan of Bollywood movies. I have seen Marine Drive in so many bollywood movies filmed in Mumbai. And I always had a wish to visit here. And finally after years and years of my patience I got chance to visit India. I really love Marine Drive. But the policemen did not let me sit there for late night. I don't know why they've those strict regulations but had to follow the cops, right?

Marine Drive is the best!

Marine Drive is the best!
Well what can I say more ?
During my 7 year stay in Mumbai from 2015-2022 I had the wonderful opportunity to visit this iconic promenade every working day as my office was located in Air India building. Every day post lunch I would go for a stroll with colleagues even when it was hot. Evenings were perfect for sunsets, monsoons were the time for high tides. Sunday mornings were ideal to observe youngsters and the old jogging, people doing yoga and exercises, super bikes racing past. During monsoons couples sitting under an umbrella were the frequent sights. The ice creams at Rustom, snacks at the tapri near air india building, pav bhaji at Girgaum chowpatty and the holidays during Ganesh Visarjan, New Year’s Eve, Christmas, National Holidays and the unscheduled stayback at office especially during heavy monsoons when trains were shut all remind me so much of this iconic place, bringing back memories of a lifetime. My favourite place in the whole of Mumbai!

Mumbai trip is incomplete without visiting this place
Jul 2023 • Friends
Your Mumbai trip is incomplete without visiting this place. Be it day or night, this place has its own unique experience. The view is unlike any other, it's resembles like pearls on a necklace, when seen from an elevated place. But on Hygiene front, they can improve.

One of the most iconic landmarks in Mumbai
Jan 2024 • Solo
Had been to this famous promenade in South Mumbai a few weeks ago. It is visited by locals and foreign tourists.

Earlier known as Kennedy Sea Face in 1915 during the British era, this promenade stretches from Malabar Hill to Nariman Point. Overlooking the Arabian Sea, it is shaped like a banana and is 3.6 kms long. Also known as Queen's Necklace, this promenade is best visited during the evening hours. One can walk, jog, relax and view the sunset & skyline.

Avoid the afternoon hours. It is well illuminated in the night due to the street lights and gets crowded by young couples. Had strolled along the promenade and witnessed the Arabian Sea & skyline. 

This promenade is an ideal place for families, couples as well as young students. It is a must visit and should not be missed.

This place is good to sit, relax and enjoy the winds coming from sea and to reach here, either you need to walk a lot or should have private vehicle .

Great place for people watching and a nice breeze, best to go at sunset or in the evening
Nov 2023 • Friends
Lovely walk, very atmospheric and a great place to people watch. We were asked for lots of pictures and appeared in many cleverly angled selfies but that’s India (and indeed Asia) for you.

Worth the drive - day or night

Catch it going north so you are closer to the water and try to have binoculars. Rush hours are best so you can take pictures.
