This is just a long beach. That's all. OK, so it has its lights at night. So what? It is literally impossible to visit during the day due to the hot weather and blistering sun - no shade at all. Why people regard this beach as a "necklace" is beyond me - you have lights on each and every beach... More

It's a great view, it's a great feeling. Marine Drive is indeed the icon of Mumbai. And it's well worth the fame. If you're in a hurry, just drive by. If you have some time, do sit there and enjoy the peace this experience has to offer. Word of caution: there are many peddlers and beggars around. It would be... More

We travelled a couple of times along Marine Drive and stopped to admire the Arabian sea and the shoreline. The cool breeze here was very welcome and it seemed to be one of the only streets in Mumbai where the traffic flowed rather than crawled. Stop here in the afternoon and take a stroll as we did. It makes you... More

It is one of the best place in Mumbai. During the night, Marine Drive street light gives a impression of Queen's necklace. The best part about Marine drive is that along the road, there is a broad pathway, where people come, sit and talk for hours. It is also a jogging and walking track for many residing in nearby area.... More

marine drive just gives you a good view and you can see teenagers and couples seating on beach having fun. Food at marine drive beach is not recommendable you get many other options near to beach.

Been walking there ever since I can remember, having been born and brought up in Churchgate. Visually, Marine Drive is the identity of Mumbai and its just spectacular.

Marine Drive is a beautiful road with Arabian sea on one side and beautiful old buildings on the other side of the road. It starts from bottom of Malabar hill and stretches upto Nariman Point known as last point of land in Mumbai..

The best view available in south mumbai is the view of the sea from the queens necklace. The promenade adjacent to the road, is a haven for joggers and people taking their morning walks, who are here from 5am onwards, to take in the fresh sea air. Marvelous sunsets as well.One of the few places where one can connect with... More

The way it lends scale to the city, ties the neighbourhood and makes you feel grand not like a speck in this city of teeming millions
