About Marine Drive
Officially Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Road, Marine Drive is a C-shaped, six-lane boulevard curving along the Arabian Sea from Nariman Point to Girgaum Chowpatty. At night its streetlights form the pearl-like arc that gives it the nickname 'Queen's Necklace', and it's one of the city's most popular spots for an evening walk and sunset.
