Chowpatty Beach is a public beach, and there's no fee to visit. It's a popular stop on sightseeing tours of Mumbai, which typically cost anywhere from US$27 to US$71 for half-day tours or upwards of US$40 for full-day tours. Costs typically vary depending on group size and inclusions.

Sunset is the best time of day to visit Chowpatty Beach, especially if you want to see the beach at its liveliest. While cooler evening temperatures are a big draw, it’s the sunset views from the west-facing beach that bring in the crowds—and the street-food vendors.

Chowpatty Beach is located right off of Marine Drive, making it easy to walk to the beach (depending on where on Marine Drive you’re coming from). However, walking in the heat and humidity of Mumbai can be taxing, and you might prefer to take a taxi or visit on a tour.

Chowpatty Beach is a popular place to try out street foods, and there are plenty of Mumbai favorites on offer. Popular options include pav bhaji—fluffy buns served with a spicy veggie curry—and bhel puri, a mix of puffed rice, crunchy gram noodles, onions, tomatoes, and tamarind chutney.

Yes, Chowpatty Beach is great for kids, and you’ll see plenty of families hanging out there, especially around sunset. Expect plenty of ice cream vendors along with people selling light-up toys that are fun to play with after dark. Just stay out of the water—it’s not clean enough for swimming.
