Experiencing the Ignored Beaches in Mumbai
For most of the people who love traveling, they tend to miss few local sites while they explore everything far and beyond. The same goes for the ignored beaches in Mumbai, which are not properly explored and experienced by the travelers. People do go around this huge metropolitan city and check out the obvious points of interest, which a tourist would first like to visit, on his arrival. Indeed there are many things, structures, places and activities to get involved in the main area of Mumbai tourism. However, the coastline that touches this metro is nonetheless more beautiful than one would expect it to be.
Hence, it becomes more important to experience the beaches in Mumbai as much as one can; for all the beaches are gradually becoming commercialized. Though, one may not be able to enjoy these beaches as freely as one could enjoy the beaches further down south, but they are very fine places to visit. All the beaches are not more than 3 hours of drive from the metro centre even in traffic of weekdays. However, going there on a weekend won't be a good idea as all the beaches would be full with people, who couldn't go out of the metro. Thus it is a very reasonable thing to make a visit on weekdays and spend at least a night near the beach. These days, all the beaches have many accommodation options available for the overnight stay. One may either book them over the internet or by a phone call; otherwise just walking in one of the lodges or hotels would do.
Most of these restaurants and lodges are verified and enlisted by the Mumbai tourism for the convenience of the tourists.One doesn't even have to bother about the food as there are many restaurants and eating joints on or close to the beaches in Mumbai.
The beaches that must be visited are a handful; here are some of them for the easy decision on where to go on the forthcoming weekend or short holiday.
1. Aksa Beach: It is one of the most well-known and widely admired beach of Malad suburb in Mumbai; situated next to Aksa village. It is a weekend destination for the college going crowd, who choose to come here and stay overnight in the reasonably priced hotels and cottages that are next the beach. It also has a base of the much acclaimed Indian Navy on the other end, which is known as €Dana-Paani' by the locals.
2. Madh Beach: This is one of the finest beaches in Mumbai that has the prestigious honor to be known as the cleanest beach in Maharashtra. It is formed from a cluster of small villages and their tiny farmlands. Hence, the abundant mangrove trees that grow here, makes it look very beautiful.
3. Juhu Beach: The most-visited and situated beside the posh locality where all the cine-stars reside, this is a hot-spot for the movie-star fans; who love to wait for a glimpse of their icon. This is one of the closest beaches from the city centre at merely 18 Km.
