Marine Drive Mumbai
Marine Drive is a sweeping 3.6km curved boulevard along Mumbai's coastline, one of the city's most iconic public spaces, popular for evening walks, sunset views over the Arabian Sea, and simply sitting along the seawall watching the city go by. At night, the curving string of streetlights along the bay earns it the nickname "Queen's Necklace."
It's less a specific attraction than an essential Mumbai experience, a place locals and visitors alike come to unwind, and it connects several other south Mumbai landmarks (Chowpatty Beach at one end, Nariman Point at the other) into a natural walking route.
