Great place to try the local street food
Nov 2023 • Couples
There is a big selection of street food. Stands with either sweet or savory dishes can be found right and left. The vendors are rather helpful and always eager to get you something you may like. Here you can easily communicate in English and accommodate your order to your liking.

As a beach lover, I have to say the beach is , sadly, extremely dirty so I didn't go near the water.

Unique cultural experience with good food
Apr 2023
Excellent dosa and lassi from one of the stalls (near the beach of the left side). Brilliant atmosphere which you can absorb along the beach watching families eat their dinner or dip into the water. And the floodlights on the beach are a unique touch. It would be an interesting idea for Manly or Bondi beach in Sydney, although I am sure almost every local would object.

Large Beach
Jan 2023
I first came across if on the way from the airport to my accommodation in Colaba. The beach was quite nice with white sand and it looked quite large. I made it there after walking along Marine Drive.
One end of the beach had stalls for food and drinks. It was quite busy and lit up. There are also plenty of other restaurant lining the road near the beach. I was near the main entrance by the intersection. There were a few statues along the roadway which were interesting, particularly the ones within a garden.
The beach itself was huge. I was there at night and it was more packed compared to the morning when driving through. There were so many people just enjoying the beach area.
There was a bit of rubbish along the water line though and there weren't many people in the water, presumably because it was night time and "cold". I was tempted to take photos while on the beach but there was a sign out front saying not to. The view looking towards the city was quite nice from the beach.
It was a nice place to look around and I would guess feels different between day and night.

Not great experience at Chowpatty Beach
Sep 2021 • Solo
Chowpatty beach which is one of the most iconic beach where people from all around the world come to visit has been not kept well.Beach is littering with full of garbage on the beach as well as in the water.The whole strech from mafatlal bath to the end is filled with all kind of garbage from platic to glass bottles which also harms the marine life in the water. Strict penalty should be imposed for littering anywhere not only chowpatty beach.In that way the beach can also be maintained amd we can also maintain the iconic value of the beach amd the beautiful Arabian Ocean. Prime minister Swacch bharat Abhyan should be strictly followed as its always said that Cleanliness is next to Godliness.Appropriate authority BMC should take strict cognizant of this and appropriate action should be taken

Chowpaity is a public beach situated along the Queen’s Necklace adjoining Marine Drive. The beach is known for its lip-smacking local street food like Pao Bhaji, Bhel Puri, Pani Puri, Kulfi-Faluda, Gola etc. at reasonable rate. The beach is also well-known for Ganesh Visarjan celebrations. Not a very long beach but with colorful lights, aroma of street food, calming sound of the sea waves, and attractive local market, the beach has a lively setting especially in the evening time.
