Marine Drive, affectionately known as the "Queen's Necklace," is a iconic curved promenade in Mumbai, offering stunning views of the Arabian Sea. It is highly accessible, being a public space open 24/7 and easily reachable by local trains, taxis, and buses, with most areas being wheelchair-friendly. While often included in city tours, it's predominantly a self-guided attraction perfect for solo exploration or with companions. There are no seasonal restrictions, though the cooler months from October to March or evenings in general offer the most pleasant experience, avoiding peak heat and humidity. Access to Marine Drive is free, making it a very cost-effective destination, with typical visit durations ranging from 1 to 2 hours for a leisurely stroll, enjoying the sunset, or simply relaxing by the sea. It's a popular spot for evening walks, jogging, and soaking in the city's vibrant atmosphere.
