Marine Drive is the place where Mumbaites hang out to
cool down a while from the steamy hurried and busied life. The cool
breeze and the calmness of the sea cool down the exhausted lot. Marine
Drive was built in 1920s and 1930s on land reclaimed from the sea. It is
located at the heart of Mumbai.
As street lamps orderly line up on the edge of the beach, it is also
known as Queen's Necklace. It has recently named Netaji Subhashchandra
Bose Road. Chowpatty Beach is at the top end of the Marine Drive.
Several Hindu religious ceremonies are taking place at Chowpatty like
annual thread-tying ceremony, nariel-purnima and Ganesh Chaturthi
immersions. Stalls on the beach, selling Bhelpuri, Kulfi and Paan make
the chowpatty zesty. Nana-Nani Park for elderly people has just opened
recently near the beach. Mumbai has excellent transport and
accommodation facilities.
