Explore Marine Drive Mumbai
Marine Drive Mumbai is one of India’s most iconic waterfront destinations, stretching approximately 3.6 kilometres along the Arabian Sea.

This world-renowned promenade attracts thousands of visitors every day, making it one of the most photographed and celebrated landmarks in Mumbai.

Why Marine Drive Stands Out
It is the city’s best-known sea face. Popularly known as the Queen’s Necklace, it stretches gracefully along the Arabian Sea, offering spectacular sunrise and sunset views throughout the year.
Its beautiful promenade, Art Deco heritage buildings, vibrant atmosphere, and refreshing sea breeze make it a favourite destination for families, fitness enthusiasts, photographers, and tourists alike.
Located near premium residential neighbourhoods, it combines luxury living, heritage architecture, and excellent connectivity, making it one of Mumbai’s most desirable addresses.

Marine Drive Mumbai: Address, How to Reach and History
The promenade runs along Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road, from Nariman Point in the south to Girgaon Chowpatty at the foot of Malabar Hill. Most of the stretch falls under PIN code 400020. The nearest suburban stations are Churchgate and Marine Lines on the Western Line, each a short walk from the sea face.
The road was built in the 1920s and 1930s on land reclaimed under the Backbay Reclamation scheme. The row of Art Deco apartment buildings facing the sea dates from that era, and in 2018 it became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai”.
- By train: Churchgate or Marine Lines station on the Western Line.
- By metro: Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) has underground stations at Churchgate and Vidhan Bhavan, a short walk from the promenade.
- By road: the Mumbai Coastal Road starts near the southern end and links South Mumbai to Worli and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
Living near the promenade
Homes on the sea face are mostly flats in older co-operative societies in low-rise heritage buildings, so heritage controls and redevelopment rules matter before you buy. Resale stock is limited and changes hands rarely. For current per sq ft rates, see our property rates page, or ask an Asraa advisor to check a specific building, its society papers and the occupation certificate.
Best Time to Visit Marine Drive
The best time to go is between October and March when Mumbai enjoys pleasant weather. Early mornings are perfect for jogging, cycling, and enjoying peaceful views of the Arabian Sea, while evenings offer spectacular sunsets and the famous Queen’s Necklace lighting. Visitors can also explore nearby attractions such as Nariman Point, Churchgate, Girgaon Chowpatty, and the Gateway of India. Cafes, luxury hotels, and cultural landmarks make this area one of Mumbai’s most vibrant destinations throughout the year.
