Juhu Beach is one of the most famous beach in Mumbai, it is a popular seaside resort on the outskirts of the city, it is a palm and hotel fringed by well known international hotels such as Ramada and Holiday Inn and the Indian Centaur and smaller establishments, but particularly on week ends the beach activity is fun camel, donkey and pony rides, entertainers from acroats to performing monkeys.

There are also sand-side stalls offering drinks and snacks. A number of hotels have burgeoned in the vicinity of this marina.

Apart from Juhu in the suburbs, Chowpatty is Mumbai's most famous beach.

During the day, it is the hangout of the happily unemployed who snooze under the shade of its stunted trees. But in the evening the atmosphere is more like a carnival: kids screaming on Ferris wheels or taking pony rides, wayside astrologers making a quick buck, monkey shows, and even the odd self -styled gymnast who will demonstrate amazing yogic postures for a small fee.

At one end is a row of bhelpuri shops hawking Mumbai's most popular snack: crisp puffed rice and semolina doused in pungent chutneys, all scooped up with a flat, fried puri. You might even catch a film shoot or a street play. In short, for most tourists Chowpatty is where the action is.
