Girgaum Chowpatty is Mumbai's iconic city-center beach, best known for its evening carnival of bhelpuri and pav bhaji stalls and its role as the main stage for the Ganesh immersion festival. Come at sunset to join families strolling the sand and snacking rather than swimming. The water is polluted and unfit for bathing and the sand can be littered, so treat it as a place to eat and people-watch.
