Marine Drive Mumbai

About
3.6-kilometer curved promenade called Queen's Necklace for its night-time appearance, when its streetlights form a glittering arc along the coastline. This C-shaped boulevard connects Nariman Point at the southern end to Chowpatty Beach in the north, flanked by a stunning row of UNESCO-recognized Art Deco buildings. Concrete tetrapods line the seawall, protecting the road from powerful monsoon waves that draw crowds of spectators during the rainy season. Marine Drive is a popular jogging track in the early morning hours and a beloved evening gathering spot for families and couples. Street food vendors serve bhel puri and corn along the promenade. Sunrise views from the southern end are a favorite among backpackers and photographers visiting the city.
