To be seen. Relaxing, interesting and simply beautiful. Many location to visit and to try around this place to eat, to have shopping, to meet people, to relax, to remain surprized. Good for turism. It offers one of the most beautiul views and aspects of Mumbai. More

new Chowpatty beach is quite clean though and u get "chatais" - palm coir mats for 10 rupees or so for a bit and u can glare at the starry night and queen's necklace. please strictly ONLY attempt the street food if you r used to Indian spices and all the associated immunities u need with it! More

The most sought for attraction of Indian and foreign tourists. Though the most important one is bhel-puri, but a plenty of food items are available here. It is busy from 5PM to 12PM. You can sit, bath and enjoy. And if you are tired, there are massage boys to pamper your body. More

This is one of Mumbai's iconic tourist attractions which is a hit with the locals too. The sandy beach lies on the southwestern side of the city and offers a great view of the sea as also the parts of the city south of it. Chowpatty beach is a good stop after a long walk or drive on the Marine... More

Sorry to say..the Chowpatty Beach has nothing much to offer now to an average mumbaikar, almost nothing exceot that you can feel the spirit of Mumbai. The beach is dirty with poly bags and garbage all around. The food is aweful and the small shops add to chaos all around. The parking is a pain so if you are looking... More

Mumbai chowpatty is another good beach after Juhu Beach. Evenings are full of crowd. Many street plays take place. If one is lucky one can see film shooting at Chowpatty. Bhelpuri is very famous here, its very tastey, depends on individual taste too. Normally Ganpati Visarjan takes place here. One can see Queens Neckless from here the road that goes... More

Mumbai is so densely populated that its difficult to maintain cleanliness and Girgaon Chowpatty is no exception. Located between Marine drive and Malabar hill area, whole area is very open. Unique feature of Beach stalls is that you will get Mats to sit and enjoy the famous "Ragda Patis", similar to Aaloo chat of north India....Beach is not that clean... More

The real fun is to drive it down all the way from NCPA till Chowpatty. The road and view, both are magnificent. It's more of a family beach than a tourist place. Most families come here to eat the yummy chaats and snacks in the evening, a favorite hangout place for nearby college kids during the weekdays and for south... More
