About

Peaceful beach accessible by ferry, perfect for family outings. Located on Gorai Island off the coast of Borivali, this beach is reached via a short and scenic ferry ride that adds a sense of adventure to the visit. Less commercialized than Mumbai's city beaches, Gorai retains a rustic charm with coconut palms swaying along the shoreline and a laid-back atmosphere. The popular EsselWorld and Water Kingdom amusement parks are situated nearby, making it a complete family destination. The magnificent Global Vipassana Pagoda, a golden dome visible from afar, is also on the island and worth a visit. Camping options are available along the beach for those seeking an overnight escape, making Gorai an ideal weekend getaway from the city.
