Marine Drive

0
(0)
Marine Drive is one of Mumbai’s most famous coastal roads, stretching along the Arabian Sea in a graceful curve. Often called the Queen’s Necklace, the promenade is known for its open sea views and relaxed atmosphere. The walkway is popular among locals and visitors for evening strolls, sea breezes, and skyline photography. At night, the streetlights create a necklace-like glow along the coast. For travelers, Marine Drive offers a peaceful way to experience Mumbai’s coastal charm and observe everyday city life against a scenic ocean backdrop
