You might get a rush if you're driving here in the evening or on weekend evenings. The cleanest view of the sea for a commoner from the street.

This is one place in Mumbai, you must start and end your journey. It gives you everything under one roof, from good food to night life every thing is here. A drive or a jog along the marine drive is an experience itself. More
