Overview

Also called the Queen's Necklace (a romanticized perception of the streetlights), Marine Drive was built in 1920 on reclaimed land from the backbay. The five kilometers long sweeping curve runs along the shoreline of the Arabian Sea from Nariman Point and takes one past N.C.P.A, Marine Plaza, Not Just Jazz By The Bay and Pizzeria, InterContinental Marine Drive, Wankhede Stadium, Art Deco buildings on your right till you reach Taraporewala Aquarium, Bachelors Juice House, the Gothic Wilson College facing Girgaum Chowpatty on your left, to the foot of Malabar Hill. Couples are found perched all along, like birds on a wire; oblivious to the joggers and dog walkers, peanut sellers and hawkers, they sit huddled together to watch the sunset in the sea breeze.

My most favourite place to just sit and watch the sea.I just love sitting there with friends and do nothing.I can spend hours there and not get bored.

Marine drive was very lively! There were some great clubs and places to eat. Clubs were full of live music and the people were great.

I'm a college student at St. Xavier's & Marine Drive is definitely one of my favorite hand outs. Without being commercial, like a mall, it's thoroughly enjoyable to people of all age groups. Just the sea breeze is amazing. Marine Drive Rocks!

A beautiful walk along the Arabian Sea. Especially at sunset! A great way to people watch too!! Beware that the culture in India isn't fond of grand public displays of affection, so have regard as you canoodle on along the waters edge. Hand holding is fine...

Streched from Nariman Point to Girgaon BEach is the loveliest Landmark of Mumbai, i.e., The Marine Drive. When I went there for the first time, It was just after my marriage, when I stayed at Churchgate nearby Marine Drive. Every EVening was so special when Me and My Hubby took some long walks there... Breathing the breeze from Arabian sea in, and exhaling the lovely smiles... Sometimes a walk seems good, and sometimes we just prefer to sit there and discuss our life... A Really cool Experience!!

There is nothing to dislike about marine,but it is only to be liked liked and liked.Marine Drive is perhaps one of the many ideal outings for people of all ages in mumbai,and for the lovable tourists that we so much care for.Its cool breeze,clean atmosphere,and hustling bustling atmosphere add to the fun.
