Marine Drive is a skillfully laid-out boulevard in South Mumbai. It is actually an upturned 'C'-shaped six lane concrete road, which lengthens to 3 km along the coastline - a natural bay. This avenue connects Nariman Point with Malabar Hills. Situated over domesticated land, facing west-south-west, its coastline forms the part of the Arabian Sea.

At nights, Marine Drive looks stunning illuminated, with lights and if seen from some elevated point beside the road, it appears like a necklace with street lights resembling a string of pearls.

Marine Drive follows the sweeping curve of sea that stretches north from Nariman Point's to Chowpatty Beach, located at the foot of Malabar Hill. Mumbaikars come here to stroll along the promenade- it is a great place to escape the frenetic chaos of central Mumbai. In the evenings snack stalls sell take-away food. At sunset, as the sun sets, the lights come on- and they form what is called "Queens Necklace" around Back Bay. Watching the sun set over Nariman Point is a highlight.

Planned after a land reclamation project in the early 20th century, Marine Drive curves along the shore of the Arabian Sea from Churchgate to Chowpatty Beach and Malabar Hill. It is Bombay's famous corniche and one of the city's most exclusive addresses. Its location on the western shore of the peninsula of Bombay provides it with some breathtaking sunsets which local singles, families and lovers seem to enjoy in clement weather. The elegant boulevard is lined with palm trees and some beautiful, yet rundown, Art Déco residential buildings from the 1920s and 30s built after the land reclamation project was completed. Like many other names in Bombay/Mumbai, Marine Drive was officially replaced with a longer local name, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road. No need to attempt to remember the latter as everyone still refers to it as Marine Drive.

Another site for jogging and enjoying refreshing breeze for me is Marine Drive. Situated on the periphery of the bustling city of Mumbai it is a cemented pathway along the sea shore which provides an opportunity to explore the city on foot. Flanked by the sea this promenade is looped between the Nariman Point and the picturesque Malabar Hill. This drive was earlier known as the Queen’s Necklace which is decked with glittering street lights. This arcade looks the best in the evening with glittering lights lamping the whole place. This arcade is joined with one of the busiest roads of the city. You can sight huddled lovers, children and families while enjoying a drive on this two mile stretch of Marine Drive. This is where we, the citizens of Mumbai stop by every evening to enjoy fresh air and relax after a day of hard work.
