Juhu Beach, Mumbai's longest beach, is also one of the most visited places to visit in Mumbai. Its extensive selection of sweet and sour street cuisine with a typical Mumbai flavor makes it well-known. There are so many stars from Bollywood and television in the Juhu neighbourhood that it has come to be associated most especially with one name- Amitabh Bachchan-even a flashy touch of celebrity, likely jogging along the beach, adds the special charm and appeal of this area.

Scenic Beauty and Sunset Views

Early mornings are a perfect time to visit the beach to escape the crazy crowds and enjoy its laid-back vibe. The beach is unexpectedly deserted, and only the locals use it for Frisbee, dog walks, and morning runs. Along the more than three kilometres of coastline, you would see many runners, many barefoot. At this hour, only a few vendors serve tea or coconut water, and nearly all food stalls have closed.

The beach is cleanest in the late evening and early morning hours. This happens because workers clean it during these times. If you're planning to explore the city, many Mumbai tour packages include a visit to Juhu Beach as part of their itinerary.

Street Food and Local Delicacies

Visitors come to Juhu Beach less for the beach and more for the cuisine in Juhu Chowpatty. The selection of snacks available on the Chowpatty is awe-inspiring. Near the main parking area, numerous stores provide a variety of regional cuisines, including panipuri, bhelpuri, misal pao, pao bhaji, and vada pao. Excellent South Indian cuisine is also available, with the most popular dishes being masala dosa, idli, and vada. Chinese are also quite ordinary and well-liked.

Street food enthusiasts will undoubtedly be thrilled with the wide variety of options, though many may argue the food isn't the best or the healthiest.

Activities and Attractions on the Juhu Beach

•    Engage in thrilling water sports like parasailing, jet skiing, fly fish rides, banana boat rides, and bumper boat rides.

•    At Juhu Chowpatty, we relish the local street food like pav bhaji, vada pav, bhel puri, and Pani Puri.

•    Admire the spectacular sunsets over the Arabian Sea from the beach.

•    Take a beach ride on horseback and camels for more fun.

•    Visit Prithvi Theatre, a meeting ground for theatre lovers where diverse performances are held and which promotes Mumbai's cultural milieu.
