Marine Drive, Mumbai (India) - Travel Guide

Where locals go to take a break from the megapolis called Mumbai.

I am in Mumbai's famous Marine Drive. Now this is where people generally come to take a break, relax and unwind from Mumbai's hectic life. This boulevard was built by the government of India in the early 20th century. Now, Marine Drive is a stretch of several kilometers which starts from Nariman Point, which is a commercial area, and up ttill Malabar Hills, which is a place where many rich and famous stay, including Bollywood celebrities. These concrete tetra-pods are placed here to reduce the pressure of the waves against the seawall, and it is extremely important to keep a check in this area, especially during the monsoon.

While in the morning this place is full of walkers and joggers, in the evening it is full of families, friends, lovers, tourists, all of whom come to take in the sea wind. C-shape Boulevard is often called a set of false teeth, where on one side you have the Arabian Sea and on the other side you have a lot of upscale apartments, bars, restaurants, discos and hotels. But to buy a piece of property here, be sure that you have a lot of money, because it is one of the most expensive real estate areas of the world. You can also enjoy a lot of street food, a wide variety of that at Chowpatti Beach. And you cannot leave Marine Drive without seeing the Queen's Necklace, because of all the street lights which form a beautiful C-shaped arc. I am Premjit Singh, showing you Mumbai.
