Marine Drive- Mumbai

Image result for Marine DriveMarine Drive, officially known as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road, is a three kilometer long and six lane concrete road in southern Mumbai which stretches north along the coastline, forming a natural bay. 

This C-shaped road links Nariman Point to Babulnath, and is situated at the foot of Malabar Hills. Known all over the world as Marine Drive, this tourist spot is also known as Sonapur by the locals of the city. Large crowds of people come here to stride along the beautiful walkway, to view the stunning sight of the setting sun at dusk or just simply to hangout. 

The scenic beauty of the perfectly lined palm trees offers its visitors an enthralling experience. Marine Drive is also referred to as 'Queen's Necklace', because of the street lights which makes the road look like a string of pearls to create an illusion of a necklace. 

When viewed at night from any elevated point along the pathway of the drive, or from high altitude while flying, it provides a breath taking view for those visiting Mumbai for the very first time.
