Versova
Beach
is
in
the
Andheri
suburb,
and
it
is
the
cleanest
and
among
the
least
visited
beaches
in
Mumbai.
Because
of
occasional
strong
currents
and
high
tides,
swimming
in
the
water
is
prohibited.
However,
nothing
can
stop
you
from
admiring
the
sunset
from
the
shore
on
a
rather
slumber
evening.
The
3
km
long
rocky
Versova
Beach
faces
the
Arabian
Sea,
and
people
also
visit
the
place
in
the
hope
to
capture
some
Olive
Ridley
turtles
in
their
lens.
Horse-riding
and
cycling
are
the
other
activities
available
at
Versova,
apart
from
satisfying
the
urges
of
beach
photography.
Versova
is
also
known
for
its
fish
market.
It
is
the
home
to
Koli
people
β
the
oldest
fishing
community
of
Mumbai.
Things
to
do
at
Versova
Beach
1.
Watching
the
sunsetΒ β
Versova
Beach
provides
an
unobstructed
panoramic
view
of
the
Arabian
Sea
and
the
golden
sun
setting
in
it.
Unlike
the
nearby
Juhu
Beach,
in
Versova,
the
train
of
your
thoughts
wonβt
be
disturbed
by
hordes
of
food
vendors.
And
you
can
enjoy
aloofness
sitting
on
the
rocks.
2.
Riding
a
horseΒ β
Horses
are
available
for
hire
near
Versova
Beach.
And
horse-riding
is
a
must-try
activity.
You
can
race
along
the
length
of
the
beach
while
the
horse
scoops
out
the
sand
or
ride
it
on
the
waves,
splashing
water
on
the
onlookers.
3.
Shopping
for
fishΒ β
The
Koli
fishing
community
inhabits
one
end
of
the
beach,
and
they
go
into
the
sea
every
morning
with
their
lines
and
nets.
Fishing
is
their
main
occupation
and
the
fish
market
here
is
among
the
biggest
fish
markets.
It
offers
a
variety
of
fishes
and
sea
creatures.
4.
Taking
photographsΒ β
The
scenic
view
and
the
solitude
at
Versova
Beach
attracts
many
photographers.
Some
arrive
at
dusk
to
capture
the
golden
hues
of
the
sky
while
others
are
at
dawn
to
frame
the
fishers.
Snacks
vendor
by
the
Versova
Rock
Beach,
giant
sailfish
in
the
fish
market
and
the
horses
gliding
across
the
shore
are
all
the
different
views,
which
people
click.
5.
Checking
out
Madh
islandΒ β
Madh
Island
is
the
home
to
many
fishing
villages
and
you
can
go
there
by
a
short
ferry
ride
from
Versova
jetty.
If
youβre
there
in
the
evening,
you
can
also
enjoy
the
buzzing
nightlife.
The
island
also
has
the
Madh
Fort
(aka
Versova
Fort),
which
is
surrounded
by
the
fishing
communities
today.
Many
movies
and
TV
shows
have
been
shot
at
this
place.
