    Perfect Sunset Views
    Bombay is a city where you can enjoy with large sums of money or also at a fraction of that cost. The most beautiful attraction in Mumbai is the ocean. You can visit it from parks, beaches or many vast view points like Marine Drive. There is a beautiful long walkway and benches for you to sit and soak in the sunset views or just watch the world go by.

    A Lovely walk along the promenade with partner licking a BaskinsRobbins ice cream
    What a vibrant city mumbai is . We stayed at the ambassador just around the corner from Marine Drive. The first evening there we went out to explore the vibrant city and once we negotiated the hectic road we strolled along a Jewel of a promenade overlooking the Arabian Sea. The night lights of the high rise cityscape were on the promenade busy with runners walkers young and old what a delight . Best time is at night to walk or early morning to run

    Nariman Point to Chowpatty
    Being a local, I have been to Marine Drive many a times and never get bored. The Marine Drive starts from Nariman Point at South end and ends at Chowpatty in the North. It's about 3-4 km drive. Although the drive can be pleasant the real pleasure is seating and enjoying the sunset. The esplanade is crowded most of the time, but you wouldn't mind the crowd and can enjoy the views with some snacks sold by hawkers.

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.

Marine Drive, The Queen's Necklace
Aug 2023 • Solo
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

A night time visit is worth it
Jul 2023 • Friends
Beautiful coastal view of the Arabian Sea, during the weekend and day the marine coastline is packed with people enjoying their time off. At night it's a different scenery all together, a lot calmer and very empty in comparison and you'll get a love view of the city lights.

Marine drive
Jun 2023 • Friends
Marine Drive is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque locations in Mumbai, offering a spectacular view of the Arabian Sea amidst a vibrant cityscape. As a writing assistant, I can confidently say that Marine Drive is a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Mumbai.

The long stretch of road is a perfect spot for a morning walk or evening stroll. The sea breeze, the sound of waves and the ambiance of the place make for a refreshing experience. You can enjoy the stunning view of the skyline of Mumbai, dotted with tall high-rises and iconic buildings.

The Marine Drive promenade is well-maintained, with neat walking tracks and a dedicated cycling zone. The brightly lit street lighting along the entire stretch of the road makes it a wonderful location for an evening jog or stroll after sunset. The best time to visit Marine Drive is at night, when the lights of the city reflect magically on the waters of the Arabian Sea.

The place is also home to one of the famous Mumbai's landmarks, the iconic Marine Drive Chowpatty which is a popular destination for street food lovers. Indulge yourself in mouth-watering street foods while enjoying the calmness of the place.

Overall, Marine Drive is a destination that offers a unique experience of Mumbai's bustling city life with the serenity of the Arabian Sea. Whether you're a resident of Mumbai or just visiting, Marine Drive is a place that you won't want to miss.
