Chowpatty Beach

Chowpatty Beach is one of the most representative of Bombay's beaches. It is named in many novels by Indian authors such as White Tiger or Chandra, stories similar to the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. It is located near one end of Back Bay and from here you can see part of the "skyline" of Bombay, facing the Arabian Sea. Bathing is not recommended as like the rest of the city and much of India, there are piles of garbage everywhere, with crows pecking the odd clueless cow. But it is a good place to see the sunset and share moments and smiles with the people of Bombay who come to escape the heat after the working day (or unemployment) and to take a few ice creams and juices.
