Marine Drive is the most effectively recognizable milestone related to Mumbai and is characteristic of the excitement and sparkle of the city. It is basically 3.6 km long, curve formed lane along the South Mumbai coast that begins at the southern end of Nariman Point and finishes at Girgaum Chowpatty, famously known as Chowpatty Beach. The coast wraps the Arabian ocean and is the best spot in Mumbai to watch the dusk or even to simply go for a restful walk by the ocean whenever of the day or night.During the evening, when the entire coastline lights up, it legitimizes its other moniker for example Ruler's Necklace.

The whole curve of the coastline, shaded by palm trees makes for a spectacular view at night - you can go to either end of Marine Drive after sunset and see the lights glowing in a perfect arc all along the coast. People come to walk here in the evening to experience the brilliant sunset. It is also one of the places, people visit late at night, and you will find vendors selling chai and cigarettes at all hours. The sound of the waves, a view of the Mumbai skyline and the starry sky easily make Marine Drive one of the most romantic spots in the city.
