Chowpatty - a neckless beach of Mumbai

Advantages: location, bhelpuri, other spicy food
Disadvantages: crowdy, chaos in evening, irritating vendors

Chowpatty beach is situated in south Mumbai. It is one of the popular beach after Juhu in Mumbai for family hangout. It start from Marine lines or Nariman Point, posh commercial area of Mumbai and end at Walkeshwar, posh residential area of Mumbai. The whole road makes a shape of neckless so known as neckless. One can better see it from hanging garden which is on slight hill of right hand side of beach. Chowpatty is more famous for vendors of Bhelpuri ...

You will not get quiet corner on this beach as vendors keep coming to you for selling watches, flowers, food, mats and so on. So if you want to see the sea and sit for sometime it is not good destination for you. ...
