Marine Drive
Mumbai, IndiaAbout
Also called the Queen's Necklace (a romanticized perception of the streetlights), Marine Drive was built in 1920 on reclaimed land from the back bay. The five kilometer-long sweeping curve runs along the shoreline of the Arabian Sea from Nariman Point, and takes one past N.C.P.A, Marine Plaza, Not Just Jazz By The Bay and Pizzeria, InterContinental Marine Drive, Wankhede Stadium and Art Deco buildings till you reach Taraporewala Aquarium, Bachelors Juice House, the Gothic Wilson College, to the foot of Malabar Hill. Couples are found perched all along, like birds on a wire, oblivious to the joggers and dog walkers, peanut sellers and hawkers.
