Marine Drive

Save it for softer light

Sunset and early night are the classic windows; the sea, skyline and necklace lights make the walk feel complete.

Do not rush the sitting part

Marine Drive is at its best when you sit on the tetrapod edge for a while and let the city move around you.

Respect rough-sea days

During heavy rain or high tide, keep distance from splash zones and follow local police instructions.

Walk toward Chowpatty

A slow walk toward Girgaon Chowpatty gives the visit a natural food or chai ending without needing another commute.

Carry less than usual

This is a simple promenade stop; comfortable shoes, water and a light layer are usually enough.
