Mumbai's iconic 3.6 km waterfront boulevard, famous for its Art Deco skyline, Arabian Sea views, and the spectacular "Queen's Necklace" nightscape.
Marine Drive is one of Mumbai's most recognizable landmarks, stretching along the Arabian Sea from Nariman Point to Girgaon Chowpatty. Built in the early 20th century, this six-lane boulevard is lined with a UNESCO-listed Art Deco precinct and offers panoramic sea views, especially during sunrise, sunset, and monsoon. It is a popular destination for tourists, joggers, photographers, filmmakers, couples, and families. The promenade is widely used for travel photography, fashion shoots, cinematic productions, pre-wedding photography (with required permissions for commercial shoots), and television commercials. At night, the curved line of streetlights resembles a sparkling necklace, earning it the nickname "Queen's Necklace."
